Pressure to succeed academically

Success is not in the grades you get, but in the strength you find when you rise after every fall

INÊS AND PAULA

Choose the right career path

The right career path isn’t found in a map, but in the courage to explore the unknown and trust where your passions lead you.

INÊS AND PAULA

Social media in creating unrealistic expectations

Social media is a mirror that distorts, reflecting not who we are but who we feel we must be—a trap that blinds us to the beauty of our own imperfect reality.

INÊS AND PAULA

PRESSURES OF SOCIALIZATION

Growing up feels like walking a tightrope, where every step is judged, every misstep magnified—yet the real courage is learning to balance without losing yourself.

INÊS AND PAULA

social identity

Self-identity isn’t about fitting into a mold—it’s about discovering who you are and standing strong in that truth, no matter how the world sees you.

INÊS AND PAULA

belonging / mental health and self acceptance

True belonging isn’t about fitting into a group; it’s about finding a place where you can be yourself and still feel accepted.
