Welcome back to another episode of a quick venting session, because I know my best friend is sick and tired of my rants (actually she’s not which is why I love her so much). However, she does have about 11 unread messages on WhatsApp and dont get me started on how I flooded her DM’s on Instagram.

Anyways, as I was scrolling on Instagram, I came across some posts that triggered the living shit out of me and immediately made me want to jump into action mode. Because I was feeling like I wasn’t doing enough. I need to do more. As in I have to accomplish more. The things I’m doing are not enough.

Not doing enough? According to who? According to what?

Well, according to my ego and the stupid once instilled belief that if you don’t have anything that is seen as a HUGE accomplishment nowadays, you don’t mean shit. Which absolutely ridiculous.

I’m a human being, not a human doing. Simply by being I oughta be enough. I ain’t got shit to prove. And yet, I can’t help to feel a particular itch in my brain that says “Nah, you better step up”.

Old me would’ve gone all out. Start creating tight schedules to write, to post, to crochet, to shoot content. But current me actually took a minute and took a breathe as I realized that I was bullying myself straight into my old patterns of masculine energy.

Sounds familiar?

As someone who’s trying to stepping more into my feminine energy by actually going more with the flow rather than constant having to take action, I took a second to talk to myself.

“Dear brain, yes we can step up. But what we not gonna do is bully me into acting to prove my worth to no one. If I’m gonna do anything, it will be because it’s in alignment with my higher self. Not out of fear of unworthiness. Because simply by being you are worthy. Those who know you, love you as is. You too, should love you as is.”

Sounds like a lot of woo-woo?

It worked for me as I’m experiencing a lot more peace within myself.

And I hope that whoever reads this remembers: you ain’t got shit to prove.
