Berrak Sarikaya

Amplify Yourself

For the longest time, I was a fan of the "Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself" inspirational quote. Then I hit my mid-20s and realized what a load of crap that was, especially in the world of social media. We spend so much of our lives creating who we think we're supposed to be when we already have all the parts. We just have to bring them together and amplify ourselves.
