I bought this femur to punish my children. It’s really haunted—the ghost will not leave them be! They’ve cleaned up their acts and turned their grades around. But sometimes that isn’t enough.
Longtime struggle with feelings of self-worth.
Do you get jealous and wonder if you want to have someone or be them, then realize you only want to access intimacy the way they seem to? Is intimacy, elusive, the goal of most of what you do? Desire attaches itself to people and places that seem approximations of selves and lives you cannot articulate. You are daunted by the work of making them real. Logistic concerns are real, but finding what emotionally grounds you to deal with them is realer. You have probably always fought feelings of pain, fear, shame, failure, self-doubt. Soothing them can become your primary drive. The drive to self-soothe contains within it the motivation to self-sabotage. A disaster only pulls you back into a numbing, comforting coccoon. Shame at seeing this only makes changing harder.
You can feel ashamed and afraid because seeing that you are ashamed and afraid is not enough to make those feelings dissipate.
Repair and growth of confidence, self-worth, and skills is an ongoing process of self-forgiveness and self-accountability. It means ceasing to measure yourself against other people in your world, envisioning honestly what you want, and permitting yourself to take as long as it takes to step towards that desire when unchecked anxiety wants to tell you that you’ll never get there and you can only hurt yourself trying.
There’s been a lot of talk about celebrities today but let’s not forget the celebrities of yesteryear, all of whom were ground into jars of meaty spaghetti.
