Thank you so much for this, Carol. Thank you for your honesty. Can I ask? Did your parents want you to be happy? Did it ever feel like a burden? Can you imagine how it might be for some? I'm going to leave you with a quote from a guru called Satyananda.

"There are peaceful beings who are miserable because they think they should be happier. We are being bombarded by the message we should be happy. If you are not happy you are made to believe there is something wrong. There isn't."

In kindness, A💚
