Unfortunately, it’s true that when you become “self obsessed” the world starts paying more attention to you

By self obsessed, I don’t mean thinking you’re better than everyone else or making everything about you

I mean becoming deeply invested in your own life. Prioritizing your growth, your health, your goals, your peace, and your happiness. Building a life that excites you instead of constantly wondering what everyone else thinks

Ironically, the less you chase attention, the more magnetic you become. People are naturally drawn to someone who knows who they are, has purpose, and isn’t looking for validation from everyone around them

So maybe “self obsessed” isn’t the right word. Self connected is

I found this deep quote "Sometimes you think that you want to disappear but all you really want is to be found." This hit me hard.

nobody is out of your league by the way. not everybody will be into you obviously but thats not because they're better or more valuable than you in any way its just the way things go. you never know who's gonna be into whom. there is literally no such thing as leagues.

Thinking you have to struggle for everything is a scarcity mindset you guys. Not everything valuable requires suffering. Not every relationship needs to be hard. Not every goal has to drain you. This is not the way it’s supposed to be. Growth can be challenging, yes, but it doesn’t need to feel like constant pain. When something is aligned, it still asks something of you, but it also gives back. Ease isn’t laziness. Sometimes it’s a sign you’re finally choosing correctly. Sometimes ease is the upgrade. Ease is healthy!! You deserve to live in ease!!!
