From today’s post at combatdavey.net:
“We are deathly afraid of acknowledging our most passionate wishes,” writes Heather Havrilesky. “We are embarrassed by them. Our desires, no matter how pure and generous they are, feel dirty and unlovable to us.”
@combatdavey reminds me of “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?”
@cheesemaker This is obviously a great advice but it isn’t applicable to everyone, obv. Circumstances dictate the size of many of our dreams.
