Love how this turned out. Such a well written and relatable essay.

This line will stick with me: “Because if my identification with one label so powerfully restricted the freedom I allowed myself, then why wouldn’t the next label do the same?”

I love this piece! Thanks for sharing. It resonated a lot with me.

It’s made me reflect on my own introvert label and realising that it also no longer serves me.

A great reminder that who we are is what we do; personal identities/labels are malleable and shouldn’t dictate our actions.

Really appreciate that Hari! “Personal identities/labels are malleable and shouldn’t dictate our actions” is such a great way to word this! Cheers to being much more than our labels :)

"I allow curiosity to have a stronger, louder voice at the table than the low hum of my introvert-story." Such a great awareness. Beautifully written, friend. Thank you for stepping into your authentic self and sharing your gifts to the world.
