In the past year or so, two guys sent me the song "You Don't Have to Try So hard" and I looked at them thinking they wanted to get in my way of trying to be what I thought I never had the confidence to be but I realized they were right about how much it comes off as me being a trainwreck trying to do things for attention, or not actually believing in myself, but still thinking I have the right to and no one can stop me from doing this that I should be able to do. I have been bound my limitations and that is the least I wanted to be reminded of, but people can see through you especially if you are thin-skinned, wearing a thin mask and not even hiding well, your lack of strength, being overly exposed, it's not a strength, it's an addiction, and debilitating and stubbornness rather than honing real skills and harnessing true strength. We all have the power to be the best we can be and if we can stand in a place that can set an example for others, we have to set empowering examples. You are not your weaknesses. You are the way you manage your life, a high-functioning single mother and you do not have to get people's approval to keep that up, so why the hell care what anyone thinks?

Jab koi pahrta nahi hai tu likhtee kyu ho?
Wish it were that simple when you have been burnt to the soul...
