Such a relevant and relatable read and so well articulated. Thank you for sharing because I find myself going back and forth between positioning myself and comparing my skills and talents against so many "unreasonable" expectations- both the ones I perceive, the ones I create and put on myself and the ones thar are actually unreasonable because we aren't really living in a world that's fair and just either. The juggle between being human and also being fired up to create according to our innate abilities is...something...isn't it? Well, I don't have the quick fix but just know your fellows do understand.
I resonate with this a lot. Thanks for keeping it real... the front of house can represent one thing but back of house can be a totally different thing. I feel very overwhelmed by the expectations around anything 'promised'. It's like the demand avoidance kicks in hard. So I'm trying to keep things as aligned as possible. But it's scary as things grow.. what will be expected. But here we are! Thanks for sharing x
Thank you so much for sharing this! Vulnerability is beautiful. For me every time you share you struggles and internal conflicts of second-guessing yourself it give me a little more courage. I get it more than most would ever imagine. 🙏🏾
Thank you for being you. You are actually one of the creators I found who gave me the courage to stop being the mouse I was told I needed to be. Not saying I've gotten a lot better- there's still plenty of fear- fear of rejection, fear of disappointing others, fear of being seen weird or unprofessional- but it's getting easier to sit with that and piece out why I'm feeling that way, what I need to do and ways I can adapt, rather than scurrying off into the darkness, watching, but never speaking.
So good. I’m here in this place with you. Comparison is the thief of joy and I’m watching it slowly pour over me like sticky honey. It’s making everything messy, more junk sticks to it, and it’s hard to wash off. But I’m determined to clean up the overwhelm and fear and do the dang thing anyway.🙌🏼❤️
More than enough beautiful. I am now inspired to post my own writings that I did today. I did them with the intention of posting but habitually saved them to post them another time, the truth is another time never comes and when i do revisit my pieces I judge them more critically and decide against posting them. Today i take a step with you
"Fear is a loop, but I don’t have to stay inside it. The only way forward is through. So today, I write. Not perfectly, not fearlessly, but honestly.” This is something I needed to hear and will repeat to myself. Thank you.
