this was so beautiful !! - perfectionism will always damn us to be unproductive - unless we are willing to make mistakes then we’ll never reach by mastery we desire - but that is so much easier said than done
this is the biggest compliment ever oh my god. i’ve read so many great pieces on here, i genuinely don’t think mine is one of the best but just it being out there is so good to me. thank you so much!
i loved this piece!! it's a feeling many of us understand very well :,) sometimes its the weight of societal expectations, or social barriers that make us want to be great or nothing, because sometimes it truly does feel like that's what we need to do. learning how to pause in our pursuit of greatness and understanding ourselves a bit better is always what's tough in my opinion, as we are forced to reflect and question ourselves.
You worded this so beautifully, the way you captured the experience of holding yourself at a pedestal in a zone of ambition and drive. We always have to remind ourselves that we’re just beings. This is incredible and I heavily resonated with it, well done!!
thank you so so much!! i'm so happy yet so pained that so many people resonated with this piece, that we all hold ourselves on such high expectations. we are only human!!!
“When I know that I’ll fail at something, it’s sometimes hard to even start doing it in the first place. In doing this, I always question what would’ve happened if I just went for it.”
It’s something I am fighting myself on. Allowing myself to fail. If I don’t try then I will miss out on so much in life.
it's sometimes SO hard to do something you know you might fail at. and i admit, i still don't try things where i question the extent of how good the outcome might be. but i'm trying so hard and that's the best i, and we, can do

This is so relatable. Especially this:
“When I know that I’ll fail at something, it’s sometimes hard to even start doing it in the first place. In doing this, I always question what would’ve happened if I just went for it.”
