i’ve always loved structure — rules, checklists, a sense of direction. it’s comforting to know what earns approval, what makes people proud. but it’s also so exhausting. you can follow every rule and still never arrive or feel like you're enough
living from the inside out is harder — quieter, less certain. but, i’m learning to trust that it only needs to make sense to me :)
(sorry for the speech lol, it's just been on my mind)
