Lovely writing and piece. Really resonated with this, especially the points about deferring to laziness / passiveness - I found a lot of the points in my most recent post reflected in your thoughts.
This is everything i’ve been thinking about lately and it was an incredible read. Considering it cowardice is a huge perspective shift and it’s oddly liberating.
I appreciate your perspective! As I watch my younger sister grow up, I see that she is often more willing to try new things because failure is normal to her. That's how kids learn more about the world. When we get to the point where we avoid things because they are painful, we miss the point. Though we forget it, we do grow more in difficulties than in safety. Great essay!
as someone who stopped writing because of the fear of not achieving perfection and trying to pick up the pen, this really spoke to me. seeing myself fade like that over time was a hard feeling. this is a resounding piece, thank you for writing!
This is actually did my mom to me like she don’t like making me mistake and I should follow what she want the worst part is I didn’t hear her asking me what i want in my life 🙂
I didn’t need to be slapped so hard but I’ll accept it graciously
Oops!
Hahahahaha touché
I feel like you just held up a mirror to me. thank you <3
Excuse me? We're not close enough for you to be talking to me like that tf??
Wdym? Im right behind you
so comforting to know that there’s others who had to go through something like this
i think it’s so hard to watch your own light fade
"i think it's so hard to watch your own light fade." WOW
if this doesn’t explain how a daughter feels, then I don’t know what does
Story of my life!!

i never knew where it really stemmed from until now

Sometimes, even though we want to try new things, we physically can’t anymore because of the mental trauma put upon us by our caregivers.
Trigger warning next time 🫶🏾

Oh.
did you just stab me? rude
Had to be done
Fuck it you're so right. The pain of not meeting your own expectations can be dehabilitating though.
