“You aren’t being true to who you are, which means you are likely ignoring your own needs and desires in order to be something you believe other people want. This betrayal, though often committed with the best intentions, erodes the core of our being, leaving us hollow—echo chambers of external expectations.” Wow. Needed this so much today.
Amazingly relevant right now. I'm working my way through a book on literally this topic and then your article popped up!
I think this was divinely inspired timing for me. 🤗🙏
As we say...
Rhizomatic!
What book?!
Oh... Personality Isn't Permanent. Benjamin Hardy.
Are you familiar?
And what reference are you making here to rhizomes? 🤔
Branching thoughts and ideas.
Shared consciousness, perhaps, though I'm more attuned to the providential or happily coincidental train of thought here.
Basically a link, in this case conceptual, between our current thoughts and focus.
It's a fun trail to go down.
Much like when buying a red car you see more red cars.
When you look for branching concepts and consciousness, you see more of them.

Beautiful. I needed this right now.
