hey turns out impostor syndrome will drive you to work yourself to death and then when you're really truly exhausted it'll be the proof you needed that you didn't cut it all along!

also: if your strict religious upbringing left you with no self-worth and tremendous guilt, turns out "working on yourself to become a better person" does not magically fix that! it's a separate whole-ass step!!
moreover: someone (parents etc.) can love you to bits and do their absolute best and still cause decades of trauma for you to untangle and hopefully only pass a little portion down to the next generations
also: if you want to help others and do good in the world, think strategically — your well-being is a prerequisite to all of that. sometimes it involves playing a little capitalism, because that's our reality, sometimes it involves taking time off - don't torture yourself!
I was raised to believe that money is the root of all evil, and there's some merit to that — but extra money also lets me provide food and a bed to others who need saving from their shitty family atm, so there's that too.
anyway: be good to yourselves so you can be good to others.
