Life Of Raheel Awan

Previously

…The Inner Critic was still there, of course, muttering about the wasted potential of my vocal cords. But its voice was softer now, less a roar of judgment and more a distant hum of disapproval. It was being drowned out by the much more compelling sound of my own laughter, amplified by the warm, genuine amusement of my friend. Maya, my wonderfully chaotic, rainbow-sprinkled cupcake of a friend, had helped me see that trying to fit into a mold was a fool’s errand. The real adventure, she’d shown me, was in embracing the glorious, messy, and often hilarious reality of being exactly who I was. And for the first time, that felt like more than enough. It felt like everything.
