Remember who you were before they told U who 2 be
That’s why every time you get close to the thing you actually want, something in you pulls you back to what’s familiar. The win arrives and it feels like a loss. The next level shows up and you talk yourself out of it before you’ve even let it in. Not because you’re sabotaging yourself.
