Realised I have a deep fear of failure.
Think it came from when I was younger, and was only recognised or seen by my parents when I achieved something. We spent time together. Maybe it also comes from the reaction they’d have when I did do something wrong. There was alot of pain there.
I rarely saw them as they both worked very hard to help support me and my two brothers.

24/09: In embracing emotion
Had a moment of feeling compressed.
Allowing myself to feel an emotion without judgement seems so foreign, created this blog so I have a place to express freely, but also create a place to share thoughts and ideas for others so that they may compare their experiences with mine.
Growing up I was always taught that showing emotions of anger or frustration were signs of weakness. So if you were angry - don’t.
Slowly learning that each emotion has a purpose and a use to help you understand what is happening internally.
Today I used the anger to realise what I was unhappy in my life, and used it to remind myself of who I want to be so that I may be better prepared for moments like these.
