When you're ready to do your own shadow work, when you're not afraid to look at your chaos, when you are ready to face yourself in the mirror, when you're ready to peel back the layers and evolve, to make change, to level up, doing so without ripping yourself apart or falling into the abyss of depression, then this applies. It does for me, anyway. This pertains to the mind of someone who wrestles with the need for external validation and a sense of self-worth. Does any part of this remind you of... you?
Just because you're better off
does not mean
you're better than.
Just because your life
affords you more luxuries
doesn't mean
your life is worth more.
Just because someone
looks up to you
doesn't mean
you should look down on them.
Just because someone isn't
financially secure
doesn't give you the right
to treat them like they're worth-less.
Just because you see yourself
as smarter than the average bear
does not mean that others
aren't as smart as you.
They're just smart about
different things than you are.
You can't see your own faults
if you're pointing out
everyone else's.
Or is that the subconscious point?
Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me!
Over here!
Hey, guys!
Aren't I good?
Aren't I wonderful?
Aren't I smart?
Aren't I talented?
Aren't I gifted?
Aren't I beautiful?
Aren't I charismatic?
Aren't I clever?
Aren't I generous?
Chat GPT says I am.
Don't you wish you were more like me?
I could teach you how
for just
$99.
I see.
You think you are so good
so very, very good
that everyone should be
Just.
Like.
You.
Your life can still be fulfilling
even if you're not plastering it
all over social media
trying to measure your value.
Your cat is still cute
even if you don't post it
on Instagram.
Your book is still just as good
even if you don't post it
on Booktok.
Your vacation is just as fun
even if no one is watching
on YouTube.
Maybe humility
is the point.
Maybe life doesn't need you
to be so loud.
Maybe you don't have to be
the center of attention.
Maybe you can just
be.
