Unlearn

Why are we still fucked up? 

Because we allow it.

I want to write this for people who want someone to talk to. For people who don’t know where to start, and for people who need to unlearn.

We let ourselves get into a rut. 

I have been putting “unlearning” into practice for about 3 years. It is easier said than done, but choosing happiness and what is best for you is so easy that it makes it hard.

When we think something is, we literally can change that thought to something that can benefit us. But the key is in unlearning what we think things are. Are you with me? Of course not!

Let me give you an example, during my high school career and my early days in college, I thought that a degree in something “impressive” and money were everything in life. I thought that the hustle was what it was expected of me, and saw down on people who were “content.”

(I had shitty values back then.)

All the hustle that I was doing during my teen’s and early twenty’s, were because it was the “smartest, socially acceptable, and even impressive.” It all felt wrong in my core, though. I was still doing it and I let myself get to a very depressed and anxious dimension. I sacrificed my happiness. I put myself through that because that is what people painted of a happy and successful life. And I believed all of it.

This is what I am doing now, at least attempting. I am going with my gut. Through out the years, I have been going through an emotional declutter. I learned what my values are. With all the bullshit that is out there, like social media, and perception of people you don’t even care about get in the way. But I was able to do it. I found my voice and learned to protect it. I learned who was toxic in my life and was brave enough to step way. I learned to be unapologetic without being a rebel, and just not being ashamed of things I stood up for…

The list goes on, because I keep finding values that I stand for. 

When we get rid of BS, we end up with everything that is positive, and in that position you get to be selective with what you allow in your life. This has helped me keep everything good in my life and from there, I learned that I was not fucked up, I was simply allowing the wrong things in.
