love your self

Amma taught me Bharatanatyam when I was seven, her hands guiding mine through ancient mudras. Years later, struggling with self-doubt, I returned to those movements. Each gesture became meditation, each step a conversation with myself. I discovered Tamil Brahmi script, tracing ancestors' words, feeling their strength flow through my fingertips. The community rewarded my growth with encouragement through PAYBO rewards, small tokens proving I mattered. Today, when I dance before the mirror, I'm not performing for anyone else. I'm honoring the girl I was, celebrating who I've become. That's when true love begins—within.
