The Girl with Many Passions For years, I’ve been carrying a heavy weight without even realizing it.

I have childhood trauma.

I try not to think about it but deep down, the fear is always there.

“It whispers to me that I am not good enough.”

It makes me overthink every single thing and stress over the smallest details.

To cope, I started looking for a distraction from an online side hustle when I was a young teen. I’ve always loved the feeling of making my own money.

But I have one major problem

I can never be consistent because of that, I feel like I’m not genuinely good at anything.

I try everything dancing, singing, voice work, photography, surveys, research sites, bug hunting, Writing…you name it, I’ve tried it.

I can do anything, but how come I’m still not good or best at anything?

Maybe it’s because I never stick to one thing long enough to truly master it.

“I am always the girl with a million passions but never the girl who is the best at something.”

I feel like a ship sailing in ten different directions at once, never actually reaching the shore.

It makes me so sad. No matter how hard I try to quiet my mind, I just think more.

I’ve tried journaling and so many different things to heal but that heavy feeling still lingers.

I am always so kind to other people. I just wish sometimes that I could show that exact same kindness to myself.

I want to change.

I want to be more consistent and take better care of myself but

How do I remove the stubborn thought from my mind that I am not good enough??

Am I the only one who thinks like this???Any advice for me &
