No one will give you the validation you so desperately crave because no one else is walking this path but you. Find that nugget of self-belief and protect it.
This was both scary and soothing to read at the same time. I feel it goes along with the idea of spiritual detachment and finding inner peace by discovering our true selves. When we find it, self-realization comes, along with the tranquility and bliss we all long for. :)
Or like taking a step and surrendering to a zip line, gliding above a lake. :)
Spiritual detachement. Detaching ourself from thoughts and emotions and just be who we are. Observing the thoughts and emotions without losing ourselfs in them.
Letting go of the ballast that clouds our mind, creating enough inner silence to hear who we truly are beneath the chaos, and than when we hear it, we be can begin living in a sync of who we trully are.
I really like one particular part you wrote here: 'find the validation within and find the nugget of self‑belief and protect it'. I sometimes tend to look for both externally. Perhaps others do so as well. But your advice anchors both firmly and brings along strength, motivation and courage to persevere. Thanks for highlighting this!
I think we all tend to look externally because we're looking for evidence that we fit in. It's an important societal function but so easy to over index on it.
But that nugget I referred to is 'me', and yours is 'you'. I want to see a world in which those get to shine.
Thanks for your thoughts and sorry for my delayed response!

"Scary and soothing at the same time." To me, those moments are as if if a curtain is lifted. Frightening but liberating.
Btw, what do you mean by spiritual detachment?

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
