what did you decide to "be okay with" that you aren’t?
there are things you announced you were fine with, maybe to others, maybe just to yourself. but deciding to be okay with something and actually being okay with it are not the same thing.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →write down the thing you told yourself you'd accepted. then write the sentence again, but this time, be honest about how it actually sits with you. does it sting still. does it come back at odd times. try to remember the moment you decided to be okay with it. was that decision made from a calm place, or from exhaustion, or from feeling like you had no other choice. write about what it would look like to admit, even just here, that it still bothers you. no one is reading this. let the truth of it take up space on the page.
- write about when you made the decision to accept it, and what you were feeling at the time.
- describe a recent moment when the thing you'd "accepted" flared up again.
- try writing what you would say if someone asked you honestly whether you were really at peace with it.
this is for anyone who has been performing acceptance while still feeling the weight of the thing underneath.
