I learned that if you really want something, you have to be intentional on doing it - you have to change your routine, schedule, things you consume, and even the people around you.
The real problem is, most of us were raised by parents who were just surviving so they taught us survival, not life. No one sat us down to explain how debt works, how to self soothe, how to say 'no' without guilt, or how to walk away from love that hurts. We weren't shown what emotional safety looks like, we were just told to keep the peace, suppress the feelings and work harder. Now we're adults paying bills on autopilot, spiraling in relationships, mistaking burnout for success and calling anxiety our personality. Lost, overwhelmed and wondering why we feel broken when in reality, we were just never taught the basics of being whole.
y'all ever feel like your mouth is stupid but your mind is smart? like you're intelligent but you can't express it when you're speaking? it's so frustrating
