Ep #25: You are not a burden! You are human

March 15, 2021 07:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MB

We tend to judge our whole selves by our worst moments. When you’re low and you have people around you giving support, there is sometimes a passing thought in your mind, “Am I a burden? Am I too much? Do they really want to be here” And it’s at these low points, assumptions like this spiral. We lose sight of the care the people around us are showing and we project our deepest fears onto their actions. This week, Oko and Lals talk about their own friendship and the evolution it’s gone thr...
