All you need is Love and Chai
Annika Sharma: I think self-love involves a lot of vulnerability — and confidence in making the right decisions for you. I think you really need to genuinely love yourself to follow the path your heart is calling you to, and that’s because it will come with a lot of obstacles and a lot of opinion and pushback from those who think you can be doing something else with your strengths. When you follow your heart, you are loving yourself enough to walk down your path. Falling in love is one of those paths as well because you open your heart and trust that someone is not going to break you, and you tear down the protection and walls. And so honoring yourself and your heart, as well as your boundaries, are the greatest acts of self-love there could be.
There are two things I look forward to in the morning. The first is watching the sunrise — partially because we have two huge windows and it shines on my face and I initially had no choice — but I love it now. The second thing is having my Chai in the morning. However, when I am home with my parents, I definitely love my chai! But at home, waking up and having Chai with the sunshine hitting my face is my most peaceful, beautiful part of my day, where I just get to be.
Annika Sharma: You are so sweet — Thank you so much!
