Somewhere between childhood and adolescence, something changes. The world starts whispering louder than your own heart, you start seeing yourself differently. You begin to compare yourself to what you see around you, to the endless images and voices that tell you who you should be and that you're not enough. Slowly, almost without noticing, you become your own biggest critic. Noticing and hating things about yourself you never used to think twice about.

A new year often feels like a new beginning, a blank canvas waiting to be filled with whatever motif and colors you want. For many people, that blank canvas quickly turns into “new year, new me”, a complete reinvention, a total rebrand. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has seen this narrative everywhere on social media and the amount of content that has been created around it. Reminding us of everything we should be doing, planning, and becoming the moment January arrives.
