I keep pushing forward, trying to build, create, and advance things that should, in theory, bring me that fulfillment. It wasn't hitting the way it used to. I kept asking myself: why am I doing this?
I resonate deeply with this. I too chased everything I thought would make me happy. I've questioned why I'm sharing my journey, only to receive the most beautiful and heartfelt thank you and reply to an article. It brought me to tears and that is what makes my soul feel alive and happy. It's the connection and helping others feel less alone.
Sometimes I have to put myself in that person's shoes, and realize how NOT about me this is. Crazy how that leads to healing internally as well. Like the more we give into other people the more we heal ourselves (of course, some people can and will give too much and burnout, but balance!)
