Saving this. It's so strange to see echoed here in your words, my own inner experience of anger and resentment after years of being 'the quiet one'. It's shifting something inside me, poking at the parts that call out for healing and attention. And how true it is that so much of this only comes to the surface when our 'dreams' have been disappointed or let down!
Jess, I'm very humbled to think that anything you found here was helpful. For me, writing about the personal is a way of reaching out to others who might be having the same experiences. Anger, resentment, and the shame that builds around those mindsets has a very isolating effect, and I want to believe, as I know others do, that I'm not alone in my struggle.
