Today in staying in my lane: accepting there are some things I'm very good at and instead of trying to hide those things from people who might judge me, trying to embrace allowing people to know, and to let them ask me about what I know. I love helping people.
Somewhere along the line I picked up this chip on my shoulder where I feel like people don't like me or don't want me to be a part of things I'm a part of. I don't want to be reclusive. I'm afraid of online harassment again like 2012 with stalking but I can't hide forever.
No matter what you do, there are people out there who will stalk and harass. If I'm gonna choose to be online, I'm gonna choose to be online. If not, I should probably look elsewhere to express myself. But this limbo BS I've got stuck in can't carry on.
How does this relate to staying in my lane? It's something that's come about as a result of me practicing mindfulness about what I enjoy participating in and what I don't. I've got more free time now that I stop myself watching/reading content I dislike or don't care about.
& naturally I'm filling this free time with thoughts about what I do want to watch/read - turns out there isn't much (this is a good thing). So here's to filling that time with thinking, planning, writing stuff down. I'm going to make everything come together for the better.
