I am famous for telling other people that they can do anything they set their minds to. How can I be so hypocritical about trash-talking myself, when I do know better? At least my head knows better but my heart has a hard time exhibiting what my head knows for sure.

I was trying to convince myself I was happy, that I was where I wanted to be, where I should be — despite every instinct in my body telling me otherwise
