Nuggets of Wisdom from Kruti:
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart.” – Hellen Keller.
“I just realized that I love people. I just thought, ‘I need to be myself and the only way I can do that is by not comparing myself to others and accept me for me.'”
“Self love is so important. At the end of the day, if you don’t take time for yourself, everyone else is going to be affected. It comes down to, you have to make time, even if it’s just 10 minutes to yourself. Be in a room by yourself, breathing. Go on a walk all by yourself. Read a book. Any guilty pleasure that you may have.”
