Jackie! So happy to see you commenting again. That’s great feedback and all I could ask for. I just really enjoy sharing my thoughts and when they help others it’s icing on the cake. Hope you’re having a great week.
I think of it as related to or part of my perfectionist streak which is, in and of itself, part of the binary thinking model that our society espouses.
If I can't have/know/do it all, then something is "wrong" or "missing." Forever working to unwind this in me.
Ah! Yes same Amy. I agree. I know falling into “all or nothing” thinking is one of my biggest thinking traps. I know for me my perfectionism can act like a defense mechanism too. I think we are both trending in the right direction by having awareness!
Maggie, From my chair this piece is well beyond close enough. It is perfect. We seem to share the same mindset. I look forward to reading more of your work. D
You give me so much permission, Maggie! I love the honesty in your writing. 💖
