Taking an extended break from all subs. I don’t like what this has turned into for me. It’s entirely my fault, but I keep playing out the same insecurities without getting to the root.
Point being, and I’ve brought this up before, this journey of improvement should be for me. To make my life better, to feel better about myself, to find freedom for myself.
What it has turned into. A competition of outrunning all the fear, guilt, and shame due to being behind everyone else in my life. My primary drive seems to always have been fueled by fear of being perceived as a failure. Sometimes I can’t even tell what decisions I make are for me, it’s that bad.
I probably should have taken a break or eased up on my listening months ago, but I didn’t. Why? Because I was less concerned with feeling better and more concerned with being better. The insecurities fueled my behavior that weren’t good for me or productive.
I don’t know how long this break will last. Maybe a week, two, maybe a month who knows. But I’m just taking the pressure off of myself to get back on a listening schedule as fast as possible to see what my mind really has to reconcile with.
Im just really tired of this anxiety I create for myself trying to prove to other people around me all the time I’m not some screw up in life.
