You haven't slept well in days, your mind won't stop racing, and you've barely eaten. And yet you're so committed to a rat race that no one forced you to participate in.

You enlisted yourself in this empty chase because you felt like you had something to prove to the world. Everyone needed to know that you can be “somebody.”

They needed to see it, believe it, and acknowledge it.

So you devoted yourself to this narrative that your self-worth was based on what people saw on your LinkedIn page. That your credibility as a “person with a life” was measured by your social media footprint. Your Instagram, your Twitter, your Facebook, and whatever fuck else is out there these days.

But now you’re bleeding, and you know this. You can’t even look at yourself in the mirror because you’re afraid of facing the bloodshed you brought on yourself.

So why are you still running?

This was the topic of a discussion I had with Rocky Garza, an identity coach based out of Dallas Texas.
