Faith Elizabeth Instagram – Today we’re picking up the pieces, tomorrow we’re building them into something better & for sure STRONGER than before. 🎥♥️
Suffered some serious heartbreak yesterday over not completing the Instagram challenge that I’ve poured my heart & soul into for the whole of January. It was my fault.
I did the survey a day late 😓
After looking forward to completing the thing, with an imaginary gold star & pat on the back- I sat in disbelief during the awards call, absolutely balling my eyes out.
Feelings of disappointment, failure and anger all washed over me. Culminating in total heartbreak 💔
Did you see my post last week about the Diamond being formed under pressure? I guess this one is on me for calling on that analogy. My diamond obviously wasn’t done yet 😂💎
I had hoped to end this chapter with some sort of validation, that all my effort was recognised & I got to be in that 3% of people who kept their commitment & finished the challenge.
But, since spending all night weeping into my wine, whilst reading all your beautiful messages, I’ve come out of it with something else entirely….
✨ I’ve learnt I still have a lot of work to do regarding seeking external validation. Especially in the film industry, that kinda need can become toxic and eat you up.
✨ I’ve accepted I did keep the commitment to myself- to post a reel every day. That’s what I sat down and promised myself. Survey or no Survey. I fucking kept my promise.
✨ I’ve realised, by showing up consistently, sharing more of myself & being honest with my struggles, that so many of you are on this journey with me, cheering me on, offering your genuine kindness & support. ♥️
And so after that rollercoaster, as we enter the next chapter of this wild journey of life together, I hope that as much as you’ve helped me- that I can return the favour, in any small way, supporting you through your struggles, celebrating with you your wins, so that together we take those small, but MIGHTY steps towards success 🎥✨♥️ | Posted on 03/Feb/2024 13:44:36
