The End Game

7.1.21

You know, sometimes I wonder why I am not successful like "them," or ambitious to be successful like "them," or striving so hard to be successful like "them." 

I know why... Success has never been my end game. If I recall from my journals, it has always been the "the purpose of my existence." 

And so, I have achieved my goal. I believe that is success by itself. Yes, it sounds that I have hangups about success and all of it; that's because my parents think I am a failure. It hurts. But then, it is okay. I have insisted on my version of a successful life. 

My little family is my success. The purpose of my existence is love –– to love my husband; to love my son; to love myself as a full-time mother and wife. 

The acceptance of my present reality has taken so much toll on me, that I gain a lot of weight. I have drunk countless glasses of depression cocktails with misery as my company. I have been into slavery of the idea of me, in which is long gone –– that cool, calm, carefree, even careless me.

I am okay now. I believe so. I am content. 

Happy 2021!
