I spent a long time thinking my all-or-nothing nature was something I needed to “fix”.
And in some situations, it absolutely needed challenging. Because when that mindset is pointed in the wrong direction, it can be destructive as fuck.
But somewhere along the way I realised the goal was never to become a completely different person.
That same intensity that can make me spiral is the intensity that has carried me through preps, difficult seasons, setbacks and plenty of moments where quitting would’ve been easier.
I didn’t need less fire.
I needed to become better at deciding what deserved it.
Maybe there are parts of you you’ve spent years labelling as “too much”, “difficult” or a flaw.
I’m not saying every flaw is secretly a superpower.
But maybe before trying to get rid of it, ask yourself:
Could I learn to use this differently?
Same fire. Better fucking aim.
