so maybe it is okay to be giddy and journal about my crush like i’m a little girl again

Now, if it’s something I don’t have to do and don’t want to do, that’s different. Some things that I have felt this way about, I didn’t do anything about either. What I have noticed that has happened personally for me, is that some time later.. maybe months or years. I have a change of mind and at this new point those things make sense. I chalk it up to me now being ready and in the place to do that thing. So I move accordingly. Discipline isn’t about forcing yourself to do everything, it’s about being intentional. Your brain isn’t meant to run on constant pressure; it also needs clarity and choice. Forcing yourself in those moments can build resentment and mental fatigue, not discipline. Instead, you pause and ask yourself if it aligns with who you want to be or where you’re going? If the answer is no, letting it go is not laziness. It’s self respect. Real discipline is knowing when to move, and when something simply isn’t yours to carry
