"The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers" I love this because it only proves the power of vulnerability to be true. ❤

[@keletsomokokong9150]

Yoh, thank you so much😍 , this conversation has been so helpful for me. How do we handle when we see he comparison happening with our children, we can't exactly isolate them from others. How do we help them see value in what they have and stop constantly feeling like what other kids have is better than theirs, hence breeding their insecurities?
