Intuition was a word I heard thrown around a lot, but even more was “follow your gut.” I never was one to follow “my gut” with things in life. I always did what was expected of me and tried not to cause any issues or conflict. No one told me to be this way, but I believe this is part of my learning process to listen to myself, to be myself - to be authentically me. To essentially love myself and accept myself for everything: my thoughts, feelings, issues, etc.
