What if the loudest voice in our lives isn’t the world’s, but our own?
What if the “You” we argue with has lived inside us all along?
You and I is a poetic dialogue between a woman and her invisible tenant, the inner voice that claims to protect her, yet quietly limits her.
Through gentle, honest conversations, we witness the tension between fear and freedom, caution and curiosity, safety and self-trust.
As the dialogue unfolds, we recognize something deeply human: the inner critic is not the enemy, but neither is it the master.
This book reveals something profoundly important - we do not need to silence our inner voice, but to befriend it without surrendering to it.
Because growing up does not mean losing ourselves.
It means learning to carry both You and I and still remain truly our own.
