Committing to life

It’s been a long time since I used this platform. I have a few posts here. I don’t know how to create a post in the progress section. It won’t let me.

But recently I feel like enough is enough, I don’t want to be stuck anymore. I want to live a life that makes me happy. I’ve been inactive for 2 whole years which means I haven’t been in school or working. For a while that made me feel bad because everyone is moving and I’ve been left behind, I’m 20 years old now. But I feel like I needed that inactivity to finally come to this conclusion because if I had just powered through life, I feel like it wouldn’t be very good for me.

And I cried today because I told myself I will protect and try to do things according to your best interests and what you want for yourself. I heard the very first foundation of self love is self trust and I want to start doing that. I’m feeling very vulnerable right now, feeling very exposed and open. I feel weird but I guess it’s good kind of weird. I need to open up to expose what I’ve been surpressing.

I want to make it so that even if I fail, even if I fall, I will be there to catch myself. I am worthy because I am alive. I don’t have to be extraordinary or prove my worth in any particular way.

I don’t know, for some reason I just want to put that out there.

I just want to commit to life now. Even if I’m scared, part of me is ready to keep moving.

Hello @Amaris
It sounds like you’re ready to embark on your own “Hero’s Journey”(Joseph Campbell)

also, as i read that i immediatly thought of the man in the arena speech by Theodore Roosevelt.

Choosing life is Courageous and brave.
Well done
