‘It seems easier to believe that good things are handed down from some kind of universal force or deity, than to acknowledge the part I’ve played in their acquisition.’ literally so spot on, sums up how i feel and didn’t even really know i fully feel. i know i’m spiritual but didn’t fully realise until this sentence that some of it may be negatively impacting my own self appreciation! another amazing piece 🤍🤍
"I can recognise a good thing when it’s happening, but it’s easier to feel it when I can dismiss my own involvement in it, and pass it off as a kind of cosmic gift from the universe, rather than the result of any decisions I’ve made or work I’ve done."
Oh I feel this so deeply. I work hard and get the reward, but this fast-paced, announcement-culture, vision-boarding society we've embedded ourselves into means that we're sort of already onto the next thing – there's no time to acknowledge the monumental achievement or your personal hard work. Congratulations on getting in, you deserve it ❤️
Thank you for sharing that Sephy!! It really touches me and got me thinking, although I am absolutely not in a similar situation lol. I feel quite dissatisfied with my life choices right now and super lost in what I would actually rather want, so I just stay in that shitty place „for now“ (which will be forever, like you say we will never be fully ready for that change). you just made me realise that this fog of not knowing is, at least partly, caused by the fear of the possibility to actually get whatever it is that I could want, leaving the comfort of the known/the destined/the thing I have no power over blablabla. Because then what? I have to be a totally different person, someone who does not complain all the time about the consequence of their own fucking choices but is confident about it? Huh? Something about really aligning with your choices and being at peace with it is so scary to me, I guess I have never truly been there. It’s giving „who am I if I am not my depression“ energy, which is actually such a coward excuse to not go for it. My therapist is probably so annoyed right now since she has been telling me about my learned helplessness for ages but it just now hits, whoopsi sorry! I think your angle is a bit different than mine haha but STILL it feels so nice to see I am not alone in being anxious, to realise people who seem to know exactly what they want and go for it feel insecurities too and nothing ever is perfect, and - surprise - it’s quite normal and valid! your courage to take the leap and share so honestly how it makes you feel inspires me to try and leave my personal comfort zone of being in the shitty place, too. Thank you!!! (Any tips though on knowing what you want in life? haha)
Tons of love and congrats to doing the work and getting the thing, so excited for you 💚🌈
