This One Mistake Can Ruin Your Life

Aye real talk... Don't Try to be Somebody You're NotIn my late teens and early 20s, I used to smoke weed. Every day. The problem is, I was never really a true smoker. I knew good and well I wasn't the type of person that should be smoking weed everyday. But my dumbass did it anyway. At the time, I thought it was really what I wanted to do. But looking back, I know that I was only doing it to fit in. What's the big deal? It's only weed...That's what I thought too. The problem is... I wasn't the type to get high and be productive. When I got high, I got lazy... AF. I started developing more bad habits...Eventually I started smoking on my own. Not just with friends. And that's when the laziness went to another level. I started skipping class. People were more surprised when I did show up to class than when I didn't. I lowkey still maintained a pretty high GPA. But the lazy habit was just beginning. The start of habitual laziness...By the time I graduated, I was already a lost cause. I didn't really care to work hard anymore. In my free time, all I wanted to do was smoke and play the game. Eventually the smoking stopped, but the laziness didn't. When I stopped smoking, any time I got the urge to smoke, I would just play the game to distract myself. Either that, or scroll endlessly on social media. You already know how that goes. I didn't realize I could have been using that time to work towards a bigger goal, and build the future that I want. Instead, I wasted precious hours and years basically not doing a motherfucking thing. I took care of my normal responsibilities, but that's about it. And I always wonder... What if I never started smoking?What if I didn't care about trying to fit in with the people around me? What if I spent my college years being fully me? The me that I was raised to be? One thing I know for sure is that I would have been a lot more focused. And with the right focus... There's no telling what you can accomplish. Long story short...Don't try to be somebody you not. You may not realize it, but you can be setting yourself back many many years, just for the simple fact that you'll be walking in the wrong direction. -Real Talk |

Why is self care challenging? Have you ever thought, "Why is it so hard for me to care for myself?" If so, you're not alone. Because a lot of people want to know what causes lack of self care.
