Ooh this is good. Been having an identity crisis for the past year ever since I saw through the illusion of my ego. This really captures some of what I have been going through.

That kind of rupture isn’t confusion, it’s clarity cracking the old shell. What you named sounds like a truth shedding its skin. Not easy, but deeply honest. You’re in the good part now: where what stays is real. 🌿

First post I see Dea! Just what I needed at 2:30 am unable to sleep again.Mad as hell and not taking it anymore. Reeling from the delay in realizing that I'm still being mistreated. By the people who are being paid to help me with all that. And I'm people pleasing again because I'm so damn good at it. Thanks for being here for me!😍🤗

Oof… that middle-of-the-night clarity hits like a freight train, doesn’t it? But that fire mad as hell and not taking it anymore… that’s holy. That’s your boundary waking up, not breaking down. You’re not too late. You’re right on time. And that people-pleasing part? It learned survival. Now it’s learning truth. You saw it. That’s the shift. Proud of you. 💛

“Meanwhile, your colleagues are still speaking Corporate Esperanto fluently while you’re over here trying not to scream “THIS SPREADSHEET IS STEALING MY LIFE FORCE” during the quarterly review.”

UGH I needed this today, when I learned last evening that I really, truly must stay off LinkedIn right now. (Maybe forever.)

I’m tired of being simultaneously abandoned and stabbed in whatever center is supposed to be served by that bullshit, toxic environment.

Thank you for these posts!
