It resonates. Even for the ones who don't engage with a like or comment. These are points of reflection to sit with, acknowledge where we identity, and not only continue the work, but to put it out into the world for others. Not everyone resonates (in the moment) just like two people can be at the same coffee shop; both in silence | one miserable, the other having a better day.
I'll read your stuff until the cows come home or pigs fly. Appreciate you. Have a great week.
Another banger, Shannon. 🙏 I see so much of myself in this. The burnout, coloring inside the lines even when it felt arbitrary, and eventually acknowledging that my happiness & peace is what I allow to fill my head-space. Outgrowing positions in ~3 yrs because I had more to give in different areas. That has been rinse & repeat for 2 decades.
It's not about the spotlight. Its about serving the underlying needs that get swept under the rug for quick wins, not lasting foundational refactoring.
Thanks so much Mark. You have no idea how timely your comment was! I’ve been struggling a bit with doubt on whether my writing is resonating with readers and just as I started to go down that negative rabbit hole…your comment was the pattern interrupt so I really appreciate you 🙏🏾
I couldn’t agree more on your point about it not being about the spotlight. The underlying needs are always the most neglected yet most important.
