Sometimes the reason you avoid doing what you love…
is because you love it too much.
If you grew up in survival mode, joy felt like a setup.
Every good thing came with loss. Every high was followed by a crash.
So now, you protect yourself by avoiding what lights you up.
Not because you don’t want it.
But because you’re grieving the ending before it begins.
That’s not laziness. That’s anticipatory grief. And it’s time to stop abandoning what you love just to avoid the pain of losing it.
