This reads like the first line to a poem I never wrote.
"You can fail following someone elseβs dream so take a fucking chance on yours and never be in the position where you have to look back and wonder βif onlyβ."
- π It's fun to help other ppl achieve their dreams (if they're good ppl) but you gotta take care of your own, too.
I don't get out and about in the world much so messages are limited. I miss being able to go out and about and feel peace and joy in the things and people I'd see.
P.S. have a staffie and one of the cats currently acting as space heaters. Lovely, warm furball energy, and much cheaper and way more comforting than paying greedy assholes money we don't have π
YES! (to all, but one point I want to touch on especially)!
I think the big turning point on me leaving that job eventually (spoiler! haha) and working for others/myself was exactly what you are saying. I was no longer helping good people follow their dreams. In fact, where I was felt so out of touch with that, that I was terrified I would lose it forever. Thankfully, I am now work with people whose dreams align with my views of the world and whose success is so deserved and means so much to me. It is an honour to play a small part in helping that move forward.
Whatβs not to love about you finding LWS? ****Lou looks up to the stars & says thanks a million β¨π
Love how the story of YOU is developing, changing, growing and shining all the way through these very vulnerable and raw shares! Fab writing as always Lauren ππ«Άπ
"I got sober and Iβm still a fucking weirdo"
