How’d you find yourself??

How did you find yourself? Like who you are authentically without being influenced by the outside world? How were you able to live in your truth and be unapologetically you?

Every now and then, I experience these intense moods where I deeply dislike myself. I scroll through social media and see my friends living seemingly perfect lives. I witness others posting and engaging in activities without caring about others’ opinions, and they all seem so content. Meanwhile, I feel like a failure, even now, I’m writing this from a burner account because I’m ashamed to ask for help.

I once believed that disconnecting from social media would solve my issues, but it hasn’t worked. I still feel empty and often find myself seeking inspiration from YouTube videos, hoping they’ll provide a roadmap for my journey. However, that never works for me, and I end up right back in the cycle of comparing myself to others and hating myself because I’m afraid to embrace my true self.

All I wanna do is be happy w who I am and feeling brave enough to share that w the world even if it rejects me
