When I started out, I was like, ‘Everyone has to love me’ and I couldn’t understand why everyone didn’t love me. It wasn’t coming from a space of thinking myself too be someone great but just that I am nice, I am a nice person, my friends and family like me, why doesn’t everyone?”
She added that presently, her outlook towards things and goals has changed and that happened only this year. She craves evolving as a person and ends her day with a feeling of satisfaction, she said, adding that now her priorities have shifted.
