What you are really doing is trying to protect yourself.
When you were young, your happiness was dashed by someone who did not reconcile their own self-worth issues.
In this process, you began looking for what you thought would be good enough to be worthy.
Daria Shevtsova
You began to identify everything that you perceived to be beyond you, or out of your league.
In adulthood, its no longer about earning the love of your parents or friends.
Its about earning love from yourself.
First, its the kids in school.
Theyre always more popular, better liked, have nicer houses and clothes.
Then, its your peers, and your coworkers.
Then, its strangers on the internet.
Your perception of others is entirely skewed, because youve pretty much been trained to seek that out.
You get to choose how you see this.
You get to choose whats enough for your life.
Take back that power and take back your existence.
Make it your own.
Make it something that defies all the rules you set up your social hierarchy with.
