Feeling bogged down under the weight of expectations?
Sucks the energy right out of you, doesn’t it?
And the pressure can feel inescapable.
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀.
→ We’re born into lives we didn’t ask for.
→ A family’s legacy. Society’s gaze.
→ Each one is a weight.
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻.
→ The voices in our heads.
→ Always louder than the rest.
→ Telling us we’re not enough …
→ That we must do more, be more.
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀.
→ We imagine their judgments.
→ Their gazes and whispers become our fears.
→ We shift, mould, lose ourselves to their expectations.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵?
All that pressure is a choice.
We choose to carry the weight.
We choose to listen to the voices.
But we can also choose to silence the noise.
Your strength to get up and chase your audacious goals comes from within.
Not from what others think or expect, but from what you know to be true about yourself.
(Spoiler alert: they’re not thinking about you anyway; they’ve got their own problems!)

𝗣𝗦: Ever stopped to wonder if that weight you’re carrying... is actually yours to bear? Drop a comment with your moment of realization.
