After meditating on this for a while, I’ve come to the conclusion that we all need to take some deep breaths, re-connect with our inner child, and begin the healing process. Why is another person’s performance causing us to feel unhappiness when deep down all that matters is love? Why do we feel the need to put so much pressure on ourselves when we were already born worthy of the love which is the only important thing in life? It is the false constructs of the ego that tries to protect us from the things we were afraid of. Criticism, judgement, vulnerability, shame, abandonment. In truth, none of these things can hurt us when we tap into the abundant source of self love, self acceptance, self care, self validation that lays dormant within us as our inner child waiting to be rescued by ourselves.
I may be tripping absolute sack rn but that doesn't change the fact that the Earth is our mother, man.
