YoursTrulySasi – Where it all began …
There was a time where I was unable to gain any traction, a period where I searched for healing and inspiration. I once heavily questioned my purpose, what was I destined to achieve during that chapter in my life? which direction was I supposed to head in? What exactly had I accomplished? For a long time, I struggled to find happiness in the small things feeling as though I hadn’t come far, or progressed in any way. There were long periods where my life felt mediocre, at best. I have always desired to live an extraordinarily fulfilling life, doing whatever makes me happy, constantly working on my self-development but never knowing how to make that vision come to fruition. I didn’t quite know who I was anymore or who I wanted to be. I truly had lost myself for a while focusing on all the wrong things instead of focusing on myself. It frustrated me that I was too much, and yet still never enough.
A few years into my University experience, whilst working my part-time job, balancing a relationship and juggling somewhat of social life with my friends, I wasn’t sure what I was expecting throughout those years of Uni, but I knew something was missing. Heartache, stress, and disappointment overwhelmed the months to follow. I suffered from mild depression when experiencing stuff within my ex-relationship and friendships. I became increasingly overwhelmed with how much I had planned to achieve vs how little I had achieved and whether my life had much meaning with the changes I was experiencing at that time. I battled to trust the promises of my potential and believe that some things needed to come to an end for me to move forward and attract peace. Despite always being surrounded by others, I still struggled to find people who I could relate to, be inspired by and find comfort in rather than me being that constant person for others.
Those years proved to be challenging and yet unbelievably life-changing in the best kind of way. I am thankful for that chapter of my life as it showed me my desperate need for change in my lifestyle, mindset and relationships with others and taught me the importance of having genuine support surrounding me. My best friend/ sister showed me that nothing is too broken to mend, and there is beauty in rebuilding. Without her support and encouragement, YourstrulySasi would not be born and I thank her for being that light to introduce inspiration for me to begin my blogging journey. From that experience, I was able to learn that new beginnings are the perfect opportunities for us to acknowledge our past, accept our present, and be hopeful for our future – embracing all that we’ve learned and measured how far we have come.
I began to see the significance of practising self-love – within my mind, body, and soul. I discovered the importance of prioritising my self peace and focusing on achieving my goals even if it meant letting people go along the way. I got comfortable with my discomfort and learned to navigate through my internal hardships, embracing the journey and allowing life to unfold on its own. I started to believe in “whatever is meant to be shall be“, I started paying attention to the little moments and celebrating the small victories. I had to acknowledge that I was human, and that progression wasn’t always going to look or feel how I expected it to.
Now, I want to use my past, my pain, and my experiences to ‘aspire to inspire others. YoursTrulySasi has given me a story to share – it’s one of healing, restoration, and hope. There is power in telling our stories when we’re ready because they deserve to be heard. I intend to encourage people on their journey by sharing my own. I want to inspire you to become the best version of yourself and learn to live fully and completely, regardless of the season you’re in.
Yours Truly,
Sasi
