Great post @khaleelkazi, thanks for sharing
I am currently working intro-spectively to better a few hang ups I've been having for years. It is so interesting to realise and see the fault on your side, and acknowledging the lack of accountability and care is a huge eye-opener.
I can truly have a new hope to see things starting to go better in these regards, and I feel like a child running into a wide open space filled with blossoms and rivers and sounds and colours - the perfect combination of resources that this life always presents to make the most wonderful work of self-fulfillment.
Good luck on your own endeavors!
The self-talk ie the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves can have great impact on our mindset
