I almost wanted to reference Frozen in the graphics and the blog title because I watched it the other night and it kind of goes with how I'm feeling. Some things in my life haven't been making me feel happy anymore. They have been making me feel miserable and feeling like I was trying to be someone who I am not. I think it's safe to say at this point in time that I am no longer pursuing certain endeavors, and I'm finally ok with that.
What I see a lot happening is we love to compare ourselves to one another, even if we say we don't. It's a bad habit we can't seem to kick.
"Joe Shmoe is working on his third college degree and here I am with just one."
"Gina Balina is now a top marketing manager within her company and here I am just a sales associate in mine."It's the reason why I stuck with school for so long in subject after subject that didn't mean anything to me anymore. The love and passion were gone, but I kept on going because of fear of failure and fear of being compared to my more successful peers. But I don't need to keep living like that anymore! There are many more important things going on in my life and the world. I am allowed to quit a project and not have to feel shame for doing so. I am allowed to get rid of the things or the people that no longer bring me joy! We all are allowed to.
