Kip Ashlynn Murray on Nostr: Something that really sucks about trying to be a better person is when you fall off. ...
Something that really sucks about trying to be a better person is when you fall off. Sometimes life gets too hard and you reach for that bottle, or that bong, or that coffee, or whatever insert your coping mechanism here.
And then what? If you're lucky, it's only the one day and it's easy to get back up again. But sometimes it's not! This past week or two have been chaos and I've been indulgent with myself. Yes, I got hopped up on caffeine and got a little drunk and smoked more than I would have liked.
But I also packed up my entire life, loaded it on a 20 foot truck with a trailer hitched to haul my motorcycle, and drove 8 hours crossing state lines and scary gorges etc.
Then this morning I fixed myself a decaf tea, sat down to write my morning pages, and recommitted myself to doing better for myself by abstaining from my little vices. Here's to starting over again (and again and again 😅).
I'm doing ok and I'm really proud of myself for not sliding all the way down to a rock bottom which I think I maybe would have had I just let things stagnate when it was clear I was unhappy. Here's to being brave, even when it sucks!
