had a really fucked up dream where i was playing a kirby game that revolves around him returning to dreamland again but all of his power ups were really normal tools like an axe and a shovel. the first boss was whispy woods but it was like a sapling growing out of the stump of the original whispy woods who had evidently been cut down. the sapling wasn’t really attacking but kirby used an axe and cut him into firewood.
the cure to self-sabotage is to anchor yourself to the universal truth that you are worth it. you are worth the effort. you are worth the difficulty, you are worth the time, you are worth the consideration. there is never a point in your life, in time itself, that you are not worth it. return to this truth when you feel yourself slipping. do not let it go.
