Change the superficial details and you've beautifully articulated my experience of transitioning from academia and lab/research work to self-employment. The attempt to do everything was super destructive and I am still dealing with the fallout. I would rather be dealing with the fallout than still doing the damage.
That photo hahahahahhahaha and cry cry resonate with the rest I did not know this specifically and like...woah I can see that in my future had my past not gone the way it had gone. Fuck. Fuck. And duh!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO FAIL. Why are you supposed to “succeed” at the first opportunity you were ever given that was ostensibly made for you - how was that not the first of trillions?!?!!?!? Fuck EVERHTBING love you sandra xxxxxx
Per your reply to my IG comment I have read your words & still left with concluding I'm not doing something "right" or am missing some dot to complete the picture.
You write, "more possibilities become visible in how we could take action towards solving it" & "new perspectives start to become visible and alternative solutions start taking shape" once we step away from self-blame. I've been pretty certain for a number of years that I'm decently able to do this & yet still find myself debilitated by overwhelm of not being able to **see** the options available to me. This is most prescient when it comes to advocacy & more actionable support (other than resharing & reposting) for various human rights things I'm passionate about; I recognize some of this is due to the abuse & grooming of one of my perpetrators in particular but I would like to be a better ally/advocate
