Journaling 101: Nobody can shame you. Act like it, live like it. You... - Sebastian Von Chourio (@sailormars) • Collective

Journaling 101: Nobody can shame you. Act like it, live like it. You don’t owe shame to people, you don’t need to bring it to your relationships. You can be yourself, and no one can shame you.

Self-doubt often begins with one belief: “I’m not enough.” Not smart enough. Attractive enough. Successful enough. The list goes on. It’s a feeling that the 'inner you' doesn't seem to match up with the 'outer everyone else' we think we see. Even people who seem to have it all can carry this hidden feeling. I know I have. “I am enough” doesn’t mean pretending everything’s perfect. It means accepting yourself, flaws and all, focusing on your strengths, comparing yourself less, finding purpose, and learning how to step outside the story in your head. I am enough. And you are too.

This queerling is the most helpful person I’ve ever met. And we met on @collective! We’d been chatting here for some time. When I landed in Toronto, they drove me from the airport to my Airbnb. They invited me to their Thursday vegan potlucks, which was a great way to meet new queers. They offered me an apartment to rent in the house they live in. I lived there all by myself. They helped me navigate Canada. And when I was sick. And many other times. And they drove me to the airport on my last day. I wouldn’t have made it without you. Thanks a billion for everything, @biscuit 🏳️‍🌈🩷
