There’s how you hope yourself to be seen. There’s how you fear yourself to be seen. And there’s how others actually see you. Which is which?

Are you haunted by the person you think you could have been “if only”?
“If only I’d gone to college I’d have better opportunities.”
“If only I’d been able to date that nice person I’d have a happy relationship.”
“If only I’d bought that house instead of that Lamborghini I wouldn’t be living in a tent.”
“If only …”
There are infinite “if only”s. Be fair. Listen to some of the other “if only”s once in a while.
“If only I’d learned never to question my teachers I’d be an ignorant fool.”
“If only I’d stayed with that abusive asshole I’d have even more resiliant PTSD.”
“If only I’d put a camper shell on that Lamborghini I’d be homeless in style.”
“If only …”
