Too often, scrolling on social media can leave us feeling frustrated and that nagging feeling of never being 'enough.'Enter oubaitori. This one word helped Smitha to stop that spiral and honor herself. The idea is that the four trees that flower in the spring in Japan: apricot, cherry, peach, and plum - are each unique in their own ways.
