Life, hope, lifestyle and everything beautiful
We may stop and wonder at certain instances throughout our lives who we are, especially in times of confusion, identity crisis, or change.

Emotional baggage has to do with unresolved emotional issues that we carry from either childhood traumas or prior painful relationships.
