Dear, Dear Someone, _

The weight of expectation can be crushing. It's a burden that many of us carry, often invisible to those around us, yet so palpable in our own minds and hearts. The desire to be someone others can look up to, someone worthy of admiration and respect, is a noble one. But when this desire transforms into a belief that you're destined to disappoint everyone in your life, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that can erode your sense of self-worth and potential.

Let's pause for a moment and reflect on this belief. Where does it come from? Is it rooted in past experiences, in moments where you felt you fell short of expectations? Or perhaps it's a voice from your childhood, echoing through the years, telling you that you're not good enough? Whatever its origin, know this: this belief is not your destiny. It's not an immutable fact, but a perspective - one that can be challenged and changed.
