It's not overwhelm- it's the price I keep paying to prove I'm worth keeping

The title is a quote from reading. It cut into me like a knife. Saying I've given all sorts of kindness and just forgot to show myself the same thing. I deserve the kindness and I deserve for people to hear me. Stop thinking I'm a failure and stop wrecking myself to prove others

Section 2 of my Snapshot just hit different. I realized I've been telling myself I'm "not capable" of my dream career, when I've already done the exact work - rehabilitating animals and kids everyone gave up on - just without a certificate to make it count. Turns out I don't have an ability problem. I have a permission problem.
