I generally like a lot of my choices lately as they align more with my values and I've found that that's more important for me than fitting in and all of that. Comparison has given me a thousand small deaths. Just being able to care for myself, educating myself, and becoming a "better" person even tho a lot sucks too, and maybe more accepting that life sucks sometimes and it's okay. Yeah, like this last year has maybe more or less given me a sort of self that I can find confidence in and support, not on the basis of society's values, but on the values of health and self-compassion and -care. & I still am working on that, on finding a balance, but I really appreciate the process over the goal. The ability to do imperfectly and to learn more over time.
