(values, morals, happiness) -being complacent/comfortable even if things don't feel 'right' -the instability of life means that 'paths' are always changing we discuss the privilege of being able to make changes in your life to better yourself and those around you.. and why its important to be grateful for that <3 we end on a personal note and ask ourselves if we feel like we are where we should/want to be.. to stay up to date on our lives, contribute to future episodes and share any of your thoughts - pls do follow us on ⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠, ⁠⁠tiktok⁠⁠ or subscribe to us on youtube ⁠⁠here⁠⁠! ☕ also, if you want to join our BOOK CLUB... you can join us ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ current book of the month is 'babel' by r.f.kuang). for advertising opportunities, or you don't have any social media and want to chat, please email us at: ⁠⁠thematchadiariespod@gmail.com⁠
