I keep wondering what it is about myself that keeps people attacking me for my future plans.
Is it that I’m a female?
Is it that I look younger than I am?
Is it that I have something about me people dislike?
People in general approach me to tell me why my plans, workwise or creatively, are not gonna work out. My own family, the family of my partner, family friends ..
Meanwhile, I’m 30 and successful in what I do. It still hurts and makes me wonder.
I keep wondering why people do this to me …

But I never thought I was someone to be jealous of. But Maybe that’s it. I still didn’t give up.

Sadly I’ve been on the receiving of this too – it’s especially painful when it comes from those who are supposed to have your back. The only advice I have is to keep being yourself & listen to that inner voice – people get scared sometimes when loved ones are on a path they don’t understand. Your path is yours ❤️🔥

I never considered myself to be worthy of jealousy. I’m very damaged.

Misery loves company, and the best way to illustrate it would be to use the “crabs in a bucket” imagery. They don’t want you to prosper, so they drag you down.
As for you, keep on doing what you do. EXCELSIOR!

The realization that following my dreams means not just to fight professionally but also privately was just heartbreaking
