The Gut Feeling

I started Style and Latte on Instagram mainly for my love for fashion. As time went by and I started growing, I said to myself – “I want more. I want to speak more, and focus on so much more beyond fashion ” And hence, this website emerged. It started from me acting on my gut feeling.

Now, what is a gut feeling? It’s an interesting term we use so often. It’s a feeling or opinion that comes from within but has no explanation. But is it reliable? We’d like to think it is and instill an undeniable amount of trust on it.

I am one of those people who rely heavily on my gut feeling. I remember looking at my acceptance letter to grad school and knowing something didn’t feel right (even though it’s the ideal thing to do). I remember not following through on a date that a good friend was setting me up for, or even making an expensive purchase that I knew would break my budget. The gut feeling keeps acting in a persistent manner, as if saying – “The power is in you and this feels right!”

And the funny thing is, it always is ‘right’. And to remind ourselves that the power to act comes from within, is an amazing thing.
