Thank you- I very much relate to what you have written... I especially loved 'treating every moment like a stepping stone'. It's as though society does not consider someone 'worthy' unless they are constantly achieving and having to prove themselves
I really thought I finally moved on from hustle culture 2 years ago. But recently, especially during this summer vacation, I feel it creeping inside me again like a parasite, after liking posts and congratulating everyone I knew for the contests they won, the seminars they attended, and etc.
It is a very irritating feeling to constantly plan out every hour to be "productive" while also fully acknowledging that I should live in the now. That I should savor it before it slips by. And this feeling, combined with impostor syndrome, is truly one of the most draining thing ever. I hope we'll all get past this without us realizing it.
Kudos to the writing! It really did made me comment (which is a very uncommon thing for me lawl). This piece really did see through me, iykyk😉
Dear God....reading this post is like I am narrating what's bottling inside me all these years.....reading them already exhausting ( swallowing every word that hit right)
Imagine living with it? Thank you for this beautiful post.
This is beautiful. I especially like Chloe’s line “When approval becomes your compass, you stop asking where you actually want to go.” - phew! We follow the directions that were set for us so early on, and then we forget someone else set them. I think more and more people are realizing this, and we’re very slowly figuring out the small steps that feel like ours
I feel you. It felt like I am narrating my life here. It's a constant fight. I'll give you no advice here. But I like what you have written. Very well articulated what you feel. I feel yhebsame everyday. Keep shining and finding yourself. Look within.
I red this and literally understood everything “Rest feels suspicious now”

sounds like adhd
One of the clearest ways to reclaim your life is to stop performing for people who will not matter when you are looking back on how you lived.
“rest doesn’t need to be earned” — i need to read this 10x and internalize it!
Love it - so relatable!!!
