It was as if my unique qualities and passions were extinguished, leaving me feeling empty and lost. With the rejection, I felt like I had no choice but to conform to the expectations and desires of those around me. I returned to the path my mom had chosen for me, dressing in the clothes she selected and pursuing a job that she deemed \"happiness.\" But deep down, I knew that this path was not fulfilling me. I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of questioning what could have been and regretting the decisions I had made. The constant comparison to others and the need to please my mom only added to my sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness. I yearned for something more, something that would allow me to express myself authentically and pursue my true passions. But the fear of rejection and the pressure to conform kept me bound to a life that felt unsatisfying and unfulfilling.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 295g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 203 x 152 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781975360979\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fumino Hayashi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44311951442170,"sku":"9781975360979","price":10.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9781975360979.jpg?v=1722869261","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-essence-of-being-a-muse-vol-1-9781975360979","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
