@quynhxvan: “I am more than one thing, and not all those things are good”the freedom of accepting that you are a whole and nuanced person and therefore those around you are able to be whole and nuanced and your traits and characters don’t have to be characterized as “good” and “bad” ! life changing! just gotta practice at not trying to have “evidence” to myself through my actions that I am okay and whole and good and when I slip up that’s not evidence against it but that’s just me being an imperfect human being and I’m still whole and good even with the the things that aren’t as sparkly and fun go accept about myself!!! ahhhh
Yes!! If you see yourself as kind, caring, helpful, compassionate, or morally good, you can feel this pressure to constantly act in accordance with that identity, even when it comes at the expense of your own needs. Other people aren’t always going to be as considerate or respectful of your boundaries, either. I’ve been trying to untangle myself from this for years: I can hold so much space for other people’s boundaries, mistakes, and humanity, but struggle to extend that same grace to myself. I think it comes back to this deep-rooted identity of needing to be “good”

This sounds like internal family systems, a therapeutic approach to accepting all the parts of you, like they’re different members of your family 🥰

I struggle with exactly this!! Its so tough, you have to live according to your own moral code and what matters to just you, and that allows for an inner peace and direction but then what happens when a part of you doesnt align with that code, and is something you dont like? so much inner conflict. then the judgement, I also define myself by the negative sides. but we are nuanced, we must try and see the positive sides too! You are so lovely, such a breath of fresh air- so so so many positives! Dont forget it!

Different spaces and seasons call forward different sides of us, and the best part of growth is leaving room for every layer as it unfolds. ✨

We def try so hard to be morally correct that we can’t accept ourselves for sure

This reminds me of “shadow work” regarding accepting the “dark” or uncomfy parts of ourselves because we are only human, and finding health helpful outlets for these without simply just suppressing them 🤍

This quote is so true! It’s hard to do it but I think it’s so worth accepting those parts of yourself. Definitely a work in progress trying to do it though 🥲

Every video you make is a thought I’ve had that I didn’t have the words for. Duality is so hard to balance for me, especially within myself. We are all so many things ❤️

Yes I’ve recently been toiling with the idea that the bad parts of me aren’t the rights of others as well. Meaning I am a human full of contradictions, it’s not lying or wrong to not go out of my way to highlight the unfavorable parts of myself. My messy contradictions can just be for me sometimes and that’s okay 🙂

right there with you!!! it can feel so easy to give grace to others, because we know how hard it is to be human and complete and yet to offer the grace back feels weird? replacing our internal system and most importantly practicing in action, allow us to dismantle the narrative we craft ourself in.
