The New Me Quotes

“The life we once curated may have perfectly suited us at an earlier stage, but as we evolve, it can begin to feel constricting, like a garment that has become too small.

“Survival mode becomes our default when we inhabit it for months or years, and it begins to exact a significant toll. Physiologically, it manifests as chronic fatigue, disrupted sleep, weakened immunity, and increased susceptibility to illness.
