Underrated ideas for alternative wellness. 😈

Declaring war on the word "photogenic” & writing about finding your creativity, the balance of multi-passionate entrepreneurship (and how much I fucking HATE the word balance), travel, watching the love of your life marry someone else (but then marrying him 10 years later), choosing to have an only child, and getting comfortable making decisions that feel SELFISH.
