I just wanted to vent, but I don't know if this is the right place to do it

kbd2005 July 21st, 2016

Sometimes I get really shy and look for hidden places to vent, so sorry if this isn't the right place.

Just wanted to say I feel like an absolute failure. I was raised religious and all that intolerance and programming got stuck in my head, now i'm finally learning to control it.

Thank you so much to everyone here at 7cups for your continued encouragement and support. I feel like I skipped the teenage phase and now I'm going back in time to do the work. I'm 32 by the way.

@kbd2005 I had to check and make sure I didn't write this post :)

It's ok to feel like a failure. It's ok to be shy. And it's ok to go back in time to do the work you missed as a teenager.

I'm proud of you for learning to control the intolerance and programming that got stuck in your head. It's not easy. (I know!) Way to go!!

Hi. We all need a place we can vent. And, you came to the right place!

I think everyone has at some point in their lives felt like a complete failure. I have, too. But, what if failure actually didn't exist? What if everything is as perfect as it should be? We don't sometimes win and sometimes lose. We sometimes win and always learn!

There is no right way to live in my book. Of course, our society, culture, and tradition tell us a " correct way" but, is it really true? I beg to differ. Focus on becoming the greatest version of YOU :) I am still figuring out my life but this figuring out thing may not be so bad after of all!

If you need someone to talk to, I am here. 7 cups is here!

Stay blessed ☆
