So much so, that we feel the need to change our entire aesthetic, just to keep up with the times. But is this pressure just from higher society, or is it the natural evolution of the world? Regardless, it takes a toll on our mental, emotional and social state. I sat down with Nassim Parva to get her personal view and experience. However, there is still more to unpack about this, this is simply a little taste.
