What others think of me is not my business. This journey we are on is a long one (God willing!), so I am going to be consistent and true to myself in continuing my passions. Downplayed my achievements because it did not fall in the timing plan above and wrote myself off as a failure. There are going to be down days days that I feel that I am moving in the wrong direction, but at least I will be movingand that is a big deal! In the pressure cooker to be successful, I lost myself. I don’t want to waste my gift of writing down to overthinking and doubt. I think back to the basics of why I started writing in the first place Self-reflection, helping others navigate their journey. I took a break from social media to really focus on being kind to myself, relaxation, outings, Netflix and chill, whatever made me happy. My passion had become a detriment due to obligation and anxiety. The thought of writing filled me with absolute dread as the impostor would fuel thoughts of “ nobody is going to read it”, “you haven’t written anything in ages”, “it’s not going to go anywhere” “don’t waste your time”. I placed an immense level of pressure on myself until I burned out, and was literally afraid to continue with what was once my passion. I had been really struggling with impostor syndrome. The overwhelming pressure to achieve milestones all before the age of 30 is definitely a contributing factor as to why some of us are never content with our achievements. It may not be part of your life plan to own property right now. We compare our lives to social media but how often do we actually confirm if it is something we want. Life has been condensed into an unrealistic timeframe of 10 years, otherwise it doesn’t count. Why are these and only these markers the definition of ‘living your best life’? By 29, you should be driving a Range Rover etc etc etc…“.
Yes, last year blessed some people to become creative in so many ways and generate success. “If 2020 didn’t bring the hustle out in you, it aint in you!”. I have been thinking about a post I had seen. Anyway, I know this is usually the part where I start listing what I have been up to and why I haven’t written anything and the truth is. Personally, my relationship with outside has become tenuous as I’m a home bug but always up for a cheeky Kopparberg. I love it, linkups with loved ones are way overdue. Hey Friend!, How are you? We are outside at long last, the sun is shining (sort of) and people are really brunching.
