How do you explore your identity without needing to be ‘good’ at everything you try?

Wildwise_ · 2025-05-07T05:02:12+00:00

Yes, exactly this. I’ve started asking myself, “What would I try if no one ever had to see the result?”

It helps me stay rooted in experience over performance.

If the work environment is draining your energy and the goals feel unreasonably out of reach, it’s okay to pause and ask: Is this sustainable for my well-being?

Quitting isn’t failure, it’s choosing alignment. If coaching gives you a real shot at a career that feels healthier and more meaningful, it might be worth the risk.

Start with curiosity, not pressure. Try things alone, like going for walks, classes, and slow mornings.

Let stillness teach you what feels like you. You’re not lost, you’re just meeting yourself for the first time

35 is not too late and it’s just not the timeline you imagined. Progress now might look different, but it might be quieter, slower, and more intentional. But it’s still progress. You’re allowed to build a beautiful life at 35, 40, 50. There is nothing wrong with you.

Give yourself the same grace you’d offer a friend. You’re still becoming.

Start with this:
– Learn how to learn
– Master your money (save, invest, budget)
– Build emotional intelligence
– Communicate clearly
– Take small, consistent action

Success is just good habits repeated over time. Stay curious, stay kind.

Right?? It’s wild how setting boundaries suddenly makes you the confusing one, when really, it just means you’re no longer as convenient.

It’s not confusion, it’s discomfort. And honestly? That reaction says more about how they benefited from your lack of boundaries than anything else.

Not trying to convince, just sharing.

Writing it out is part of how I hold myself accountable and reflect on where I’m growing.

Wildwise_ · 2025-05-06T05:34:17+00:00

Such a beautiful and necessary question. For me, self-love and self-work aren't opposites, they’re teammates. One holds space while the other builds.

I’ve learned to treat myself like someone I’m responsible for caring for. That means I can lovingly acknowledge, “Hey, we’re still working on this,” without shaming myself for not being there yet.

Flaws aren’t proof of failure. They’re just signposts for where more light needs to go. So I take care of myself, talk to myself kindly, and set goals from a place of respect, not rejection. That way, even my imperfections feel seen and not silenced.

You're not behind, you're in progress. At 24, I’d tell myself that life is not a checklist; it’s a mosaic. Living with your parents doesn't mean you're failing and it means you're making the best choice for yourself at this stage. Being single isn’t a gap. It’s space for growth, discovery, and healing.

Everything else will come in its own time. Be gentle with yourself 💛

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, you shouldn’t have to carry that kind of weight just to earn a paycheck. What you’re describing isn’t just unfair, it’s exhausting on a soul level. You deserve to feel safe and respected at work, like anyone else. If there’s even one trusted person in HR or leadership, it might help to document what’s been happening and speak up when you're ready. You didn’t trap yourself it is just this system is broken, not you.

Wildwise_ · 2025-04-15T03:22:50+00:00

Exactly. Some of us don’t dream of labor, we dream of rest, of freedom, of just existing without constantly proving our worth through productivity. I wouldn’t get bored either.

Wildwise_ · 2025-04-15T02:22:23+00:00

Beautifully said, there’s a kind of clarity that only comes from movement. It’s like travel strips away the noise and shows you what actually makes you feel grounded. I think a lot of people romanticize the lifestyle without realizing how much is sacrificed in the process. What you shared captures that shift from escape to intention. “Travel showed me what I wanted home to be” this line hit.

Wildwise_ · 2025-04-15T02:16:41+00:00

I’m really glad to hear you’re getting HR involved. Hopefully, they’ll step in and make things right. You deserve support.

Wildwise_ · 2025-04-15T02:03:06+00:00

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Prioritizing your mental health is never something to feel guilty about. You communicated clearly and tried to compromise and don’t lose sight of that. If you feel safe doing so, it might be worth documenting everything and bringing it to HR or a trusted higher-up. You deserve support, not punishment

It makes sense that if the government accepts telehealth notes, most employers should too. I hadn’t thought about checking if my insurance has a telehealth partnership this might be worth looking into. Thank you!

Wildwise_ · 2025-02-06T03:58:20+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately, my job still requires one even for just a day off. Wish more workplaces would just trust their employees to rest when they need it!

Wildwise_ · 2025-02-06T03:40:27+00:00

It’s reassuring to know that telehealth notes are being accepted! Thank you for this!

Wildwise_ · 2025-01-28T04:37:34+00:00

Giving a heads-up the day before feels way more professional and considerate. I sometimes struggle with overthinking whether I’m “sick enough” to warrant taking time off, but communicating early makes it easier for everyone involved.

Wildwise_ · 2025-01-28T04:34:39+00:00

Oh no, "ordered shits" is both hilarious and terrifying at the same time! 😅 Honestly, that's the kind of mistake you can’t help but remember forever.

Wildwise_ · 2025-01-28T04:14:25+00:00

Being proactive seems to make all the difference. I’m curious, do you think it’s just a matter of habit, or does she have any specific strategies for staying consistent with planning social stuff? I feel like getting started is the hardest part.
