It's human nature to want to be surrounded by people and have a shoulder to lean on. However, there's a fine line between having friends and basing your entire life and identity around them. In this podcast, we discuss how spending time by yourself is important for growth and discovery. May it be silent drives back home, reading a book or even talking to yourself while doing everyday chores - one needs time to themselves to think and understand who they are, and to learn to live independently. -

#PassionProject: Dillon D'Cruz (Episode 1)
This week, we're launching a new series, where we will bring you people from across the Cedar family who have one thing in common: they all possess an undeniable and untamable passion for something. Whether it's singing or painting or swimming or writing, we wanted to share the stories of people who chased their curiosity, who spend time doing something for the sheer love of it alone. We hope this will inspire you to take your own leap of faith and invest in something that brings you joy and makes you feel alive.
