For a long time, I struggled with not only trusting others but also trusting myself. It wasn't a huge issue until adult responsibilities came into play. When you don’t trust yourself, every decision becomes an interrogation. Each choice is met with a series of questions, doubts, and second-guessing. This takes up a lot of mental bandwidth, and if you're juggling a lot, burnout is close by. It doesn't have to be today or even next year, but it will catch up sooner or later.

\n

Now, one of the ways I rebuilt trust within myself was by choosing me, even if it was hard. As an ex-people pleaser, this wasn't easy. What helped me was understanding that all I was doing was perpetuating my core wound. The rationale to continue this was, \"Helping others makes me feel good.\"

\n

At what cost? How many unequal relationships do you have to go through in order to understand that it doesn't matter if you're useful? They will choose themselves and reap the rewards of your labor. Proving your worth by overextension doesn't prevent people from leaving... If you couldn't tell, a core wound of mine was abandonment.

\n

Honestly, rebuilding trust within yourself is complicated. Healing starts with knowing what your core wounds are.

Life moves so quickly, and we fill up our time with things to do that we forget to check in with ourselves. We should be asking: How are we feeling? Slowing down and taking the time to be patient with ourselves matters, because our limits do matter. If we keep rushing through life, we forget to slow down and take a breath.

\n
 
\n
Checking in with yourself isn't a waste of time, because this gives space for you. It's a way to show up authentically and fully as yourself. Emotional awareness and personal responsibility helps you avoid becoming burnt out.
\n
 
\n
So remember to check in with yourself.

As a child, I was taught not to be an inconvenience. Mistakes are not learning lessons or data to refer to. They are direct attacks, proving you're not good enough.

\n

Some lash out in anger or withdraw. I suppressed myself and morphed into what situations wanted me to be. It was a gift in my eyes. Was... Because the funny thing about hiding your true self is that you lose that part. They become foreign to you. So you become what every situation wants. Every praise is reinforcement that you're doing the right thing, living life the \"right way.\"

\n

But life has a funny way of teaching you lessons... One day, you're forced to confront the question, \"Who am I?\" It's sad because all your answers are surface-level. Then, when you reflect, you finally understand who you lost a long time ago being a chameleon... yourself.

Hope isn't a definitive outcome. Hope comes from wanting a specific conclusion. Now, when the hope is wanting change, and that change is attached to old wounds. It is heavy. Heavy because of past traumas. Your mind states, \"How dare you hope for a different outcome when it always leads back to the same ending.\" 

\n
 
\n
In a way, this passive aggressiveness is protecting what you have left of yourself. What you were force to rebuild because hurt people decided to hurt your innocent self. So that part became bitter, not out of spite, but out of fear. The pain you went through was valid, but no one can take away your strength, confidence, and softness. You use your discernment and move with life. Life has your back as long as the path is for your highest good. 
\n
 
\n
Even if the hope isn't for your highest good. That's OK. You are human. It's not that you don't know it's not for your highest good. Your fears are just bubbling up again, but don't be afraid. We can handle it in a healthy way and keep ourselves safe.  
\n
 
\n
It's not bad to have the fear of hope.

We spend so much of our time molding into places that we don't fit, that we don't realize we have outgrown it. It's not fun to find out that people we've poured into aren't capable of meeting you where you are at.

\n
Aches and pains in our bodies, showing that we've sat in places not right for us for far too long. Our worn-out eyes, showing the battles we faced to fit a mold that wasn't meant for us long term.
\n
 
\n
It's not because we don't know; it's because the goodbyes meant to come were always going to be difficult. So, we prolong the inevitable goodbye in hopes that we don't have to lose the pieces that we cut from ourselves to fit a mold.
\n
 
\n
Unfortunately, your growth will be a continuous reminder that you do not belong where you decided to stay, unless you are willing to stay stagnant and silent. Continuously bending and breaking yourself to fit them, but your emotions never leave. They wait until it becomes an uncontrollable storm, washing everything you fought for away, leaving you sitting there in the remnants of what once was.
\n
 
\n
This cycle will continue if you keep fitting in places you don't belong.
