Thank You So Much!!!

When I started this website, I had no expectations for what I wanted it to be. I mainly wanted an outlet for the thoughts and ideas that I had that I felt I could not share with people in person. I always had insights and topics that I wanted to discuss as I thought they could help my fellow people. Through this website I have received a lot of positive feedback from friends and family, and it feels good to know that my articles actually help people and invoke them to introspect. I always had this feeling that I want to create more than I consume, and I think I am ever so slowly reaching that goal. Throughout this journey I have been held accountable and have realized that I cannot preach something that I do not practice. I am still growing as my journey has only began and I still have a lot of shortcomings. I started this journey of self-improvement when I was 17, because quite frankly I hated myself. I hated the fact that I felt stuck in my mind and body, unable to achieve what I wanted. I saw friends around me achieve and receive what I desired all my life. This self-hatred continued into college, as I always felt so different then my peers and homies. I started to look into articles and videos and realized that the journey to improve oneself is forever and it will never end. With everything, it takes time and introspection to realize your shortcomings and how to improve them. I think I was mainly held back because I wanted to be like those around me, instead of allowing the true me to flourish. I am thankful for the pandemic and 2020, as that was the year that changed everything. I finally had time to develop into my own person and realize that I have strengths that those around me do not have. I started to focus on what made me myself and how I can improve the world using my own light. I am grateful for the homies that showed me that I had value and pushed me to be better than who I was. I feel that Dharm is finally a person, and has his own identity. It takes time to truly find yourself and who you want to become, especially when you were raised in an environment and city in which being brown man was not looked at in a positive light. I always tried to conform to those around me, when I neglected who I truly was. I feel that I am finally proud of who I am, proud of my growth, and proud of my accomplishments. I feel that the self-hatred I once held as now flourished into self-love and self-respect. I am thankful for everyone who reads my articles, because without you I would not be here today. I have a lot of ideas and will be putting out more content in various mediums then ever before. Thank you so much for reading I cannot express how much I appreciate it, let’s grow together <3
