Why “Inspired Insight”?
Because the authors share their personal experiences and/or encounters which are meaningful in just a few words or sentences, I call it as the “Life Essence”. They can lift me up anytime, anywhere, and served as a great reminder. They even help me to honour, accept and respect my own emotions, feelings and thoughts, even the tough ones.
There are people perceive me negative, but I believe that allowing myself to feel my emotions, feelings and thoughts are part of healing. It is better than pretending everything are fine when it is not. I don’t want to fall into toxic positivity, I just want to be genuine with myself.
Why?
There was a time in my life when I struggled deeply where sleeping became difficult, waking up felt impossible, and even basic living tasks like personal hygiene, eating, and drinking were overwhelming. I experienced intense chronic pain physically, withdrew from social interactions, and battled with persistent suicidal thoughts.
I came to realize that what I was going through wasn’t just a physical health issue, it was a mental health crisis. Things became so severe that I lost 30kg, a clear sign of how much I had given up on myself. Eventually, I recognized that I needed professional help. That’s when I reached out for help from psychiatrist and counsellor. It was then that I was highly suspected with chronic depression and anxiety.
Through multiple counselling with therapy sessions, I discovered that the emotions, feelings and thoughts I struggled to express with words could find their way out through creativity; example drawing, painting, playing musical instruments, listening to music, reading, and reflecting on “Inspired Insights”.
This realization became the foundation and purpose behind establishing Yee Embrace Diversity Studio and eventually creating this website. It is my sincere prayer that all who visit this website are met with comfort, healing, and a sense of peace. May it serve as a source of hope, and may you be moved to share it with others who are also in need of light along their journey.
