GirlTalkHQ Founder Asha Dahya opens up about the journey to find her identity
“Don’t apologize for who you are… true happiness comes from knowing your individual worth and identity”
I have been in a relationship for 31 years, which, coincidentally, is also my age. That life-long relationship has been with no one other than my identity. Sounds weird, but hear me out!
For most of my life, I’ve struggled to uncover who I am and how I want to be perceived. Though you’d image this struggle would get easier with time, my experience has been quite the opposite. As I’ve grown older, extraneous circumstances – peer pressure, family pressure, the media, relationships with boys, my career- have threatened to break up my longest relationship and have even managed to hijack my identity at times.
