[self development] Just be yourself and speak your mind

How to cope with the fact that we ain't perfect and we have a lot of flaws? I mean, everyone loses sometimes, right? We ain't designed to win every time, I think.

Lately, I've been thinking about it and noticed that in the last 180 days I lost much more than I won, and maybe that's how life is designed to be, and that's ok, I guess? Looking back, I've been struggling with a lot of emotional disorders and definitely not good thoughts that were fucking my mind and throwing me into a really huge spiral of shit.

As I said in other texts here, I've been there before, and if there was something I wasn't planning for myself it was to go back to this place where I definitely don't belong.

One thing I decided to do was to revamp everything. I've started seeing my therapist again, and this little action just made a lot of sense. As a resolution for this new moment, I also decided to change a little bit of some approaches that were the main reason that I got myself into that bad place. To be real with my feelings and not be afraid to talk about emotions, feelings, and truly say stuff to other people. By that, I mean "speak plainly". I took too long to realize that sometimes it's all a matter of being realistic and saying stuff.

If you take too long to speak the truth, maybe you will be deceiving yourself, and this might take you to really bad places. When I mean bad places, you can understand it as a physical place or even a discomfort with the place that you've been. Trust me, this is one of the worst feelings ever and you definitely don't want that.

By the truth, I mean to stop deceiving yourself and others with your intentions and do whatever makes you happy, no matter what. Sometimes everything we need is to take that leap of faith and stop thinking about the fucking sunk cost fallacy where you will consider "how much time and money you invested in something and now you are too far away to take back something", even though you miss that "something" you wanna take back. Sometimes that "something" might be your happiness.
