Today’s Big Questions

  1. How can I know what my ‘true self’ is if I’m constantly shifting who I am to try and fit in?
  2. How do I come to terms with the fact that I’m not the person I used to be and communicate to others that I am different to who they think I am?
  3. What are the ways we can help people feel body positive without making it seem that physical appearance is more important than their other qualities?
