Follow your heart - with a side of courage and a Dash of Humour 😍

In a world that loves to hand out unsolicited advice — from “settle down already” to “have you tried drinking jeera water for everything?” — following your heart can feel like an act of rebellion. But honestly, that’s where the magic begins. ✨

Because when you do follow your heart, people may raise their eyebrows and sometimes their voices— but you end up carving out a life that actually feels yours. That’s worth every awkward family dinner conversation.

The heart, though, is sneaky. It doesn’t shout. It whispers. It nudges. It says things like: “Hey, maybe you should paint… or move… or quit that job where your soul is withering faster than your office plant.” The problem? That whisper gets drowned out by the noise of societal expectations, Instagram reels telling you what’s “normal,” and of course, our dear friend: self-doubt.

And then there’s fear. Oh, fear loves a dramatic entrance. “But what if you fail? What if they judge you? What if you trip on stage and go viral for the wrong reasons?” (Thanks, brain.) But here’s the truth — fear isn’t the villain. It’s more like that overprotective relative who means well but overdoes it. Once you face it, you realise most of the horror stories in your head were written by an over-caffeinated imagination.

As for judgment? People will always have opinions. Some will clap, some will frown, and some will be too busy scrolling Netflix subtitles to notice. Their judgment says more about their world than yours. Build your own little circle of supporters, the ones who clap even when you trip — and keep walking.

Conviction isn’t about becoming fearless (spoiler: that’s impossible). It’s about moving forward despite doubt. Start small. Take one step, then another. Confidence builds like interest on an investment — except here, you’re the asset.

And remember: following your heart isn’t a finish line moment with confetti cannons. It’s a lifelong journey — full of detours, speed bumps, and the occasional pothole. But it’s also filled with growth, laughter, peace and those quiet moments when you think: “Yep, this feels right.”

So let your heart be your GPS, let fear ride shotgun as a slightly annoying travel buddy, and let judgment honk from the sidelines (because who cares?). You’re on your way to living your own beautifully authentic story.

And Yes … be grateful for every single person cheering you - on your journey of being You.

That’s your tribe.
