Personal Growth

“My therapist asked me how I was doing and I gave her the polished version because I didn't want to get into the real version today.”

“I walked past the gym again today and I didn't go in and I've been making up a different excuse for eleven days now.”

“I've read four self-help books in three months and I think they're making things worse by making me analyze everything I do.”

“I think I stayed in that job two years too long because I was scared and now I'm trying to figure out if that was stupid or human.”

“I want to ask for help but I've been competent for so long that I don't know how to frame it without it sounding like failure.”

“I've been thinking about ending the friendship for a while but I can't tell if she's bad for me or I'm just outgrowing her.”

“I keep starting new habits on Mondays like the day of the week has any bearing on whether I'll actually follow through.”

“I had the thought that I might be doing okay today and then I immediately looked for evidence against it.”

“I keep waiting to feel ready and I'm starting to understand that's not how it works but I can't stop waiting anyway.”

“I don't recognize the person in videos from a few years ago and I'm not sure if that's growth or loss.”

“I've been journaling for a week and every entry says the same thing in different words.”

“I asked for feedback and got it and now I wish I hadn't asked.”

“I think about calling an old friend I hurt years ago and then I don't, and I've been doing that for long enough that it's become its own kind of answer.”
