what if all the things i've done were just attempts at earning love

We’ve been stuck in an evaluation loop our whole lives - from school to social - we’re conditioned to *earn* praise/love/acceptance because we are not enough as we are:
 
Do vs be
Strive vs thrive

I wonder why everyone is exhausted…

Do you think it’s a generational issue and maybe there is slight chance that younger gen z’s and those coming after won’t face it as much? Or, on the contrary, struggle even more?

I think struggle even more or rebel against the whole things because there’s a breaking point. Performing *all the time* is soul and body destroying

I found that an interesting side effect of Covid and the lockdowns (in Canada at least). A lot of people came out very different because they didn’t need to perform on a daily basis and it gave space for who they were to emerge.
