Real Growth Doesn't Require Destroying Yourself

from The Journey

Most people chase love like it’s something someone else hands you. But what if the real problem is you don’t have it in you to give yet? This mini-episode is a raw conversation about self-love, sacrifice, communication, and the moment you realize you’ve been dragging yourself through something that’s quietly draining you.
