why losing control scares you so much

the zurkie show ·

2025/05/07

⁠I feel the need to control it, even if I can't.but in my adulthood, I've learned that doing so does more harm than good. I've found myself worrying about the mistakes I've made instead of doing something to change my future.be conscious about the decisions you make, but don't feel like you need to steer the outcome to your favor each time. the more you focus on what you can control and not if it will go your way, the more you can be present in living a meaningful life.sending

why do you change to feel loved

2025/05/02

why should we try to be ourselves? what if we aren't our crush's type? isn't life all about changing? yes, but not for other people. "just be yourself" is cliche, but it's also difficult.being genuine isn't easy. it means opening yourself up to criticism and discomfort. but the pay off is being able to live your life in a way that feels real, not like you're having to fit a mold.stop performing for your crush. a real partner will be attracted to you for the person you are. but is only put on display

do you even know why you’re sad

2025/04/22

I used to ignore my own pain.I didn't see it as something I needed to address because I could always find a distraction to get me thinking about something else. it worked for a while, until suddenly I found myself deep in a trench that I couldn't see out of.we experience pain because our body wants us to address an issue. we feel pain emotionally because our mind wants us to just acknowledge that something isn't right.listen to yourself, you'll be happy you did.sending you lots of love and

this is why you feel invisible

if you wait for the applause, it'll never come.we often wait for others to celebrate us so much that we forget why we do things in our own lives. don't get me wrong, being celebrated is a great feeling. I love being told that I'm doing a good job. however, that only feels genuine when I'm working on doing something that matters to me. if I focus too much on how I will be perceived and what it will do for others, I lose track of the essence of who I am.be yourself, be genuine, and most importantly,

why should you be optimistic when everything sucks

the zurkie show ·

2025/04/17

life is suffering.so if we're going to go through hardships regardless, maybe it's worth giving ourselves grace.in my life, I've found the most peace when I consciously decide to look into the positive side of the challenges I face. it isn't easy, but it makes things just that much more better.maybe optimism drives you nuts, but don't knock it until you've given it a fair shot.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaace!⁠https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

you don’t have to be okay today

the zurkie show ·

2025/04/15

it's time to crash out.whenever I let myself feel the negative emotions that have hindered my ability to feel good about myself, I end up learning what the root of my suffering is.maybe instead of suppressing your frustration, give it the time of day. Sometimes all we need is for our thoughts to be acknowledged so that we can keep moving forward.you got this, I believe in you.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaace!https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

what to do when life falls apart

2025/04/10

life never goes according to plan.you can try to push back on the changes, but rolling with the punches allows you to build something better for yourself.just as long as you keep swimming through the trenches, you'll make it to where you need to go. don't hold back, just stay in there.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaace!https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

healing doesn’t mean forgetting them

2025/04/05

I know deep down we don't want to seem like we care, but we do.I've learned to accept the fact that I missed my ex-partner at one point or another. there's no shame in it. but I also know there is a big difference between the person they are and the person I "fell in love" with.feel those emotions, feel the sadness, feel the pain of seeing them with someone else. we need to feel these things in order to make a change for the better. at least I think so.sending you all lots of

you were meant for more. maybe you cringe thinking about it because you're scared of how other people would perceive you, but it's true.if you feel like your current situation isn't working, it's your responsibility to do something about it. and usually, that means leaving your old self behind.you got this.I'm sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaace!https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

this is why you don’t trust yourself

2025/04/01

sometimes we need to treat ourselves as if we were a D.I.Y. project that your dad was obsessed with even though your mom begged him to "just buy it" at Menards or Home Depot. it takes time to change, but more importantly, it takes evidence.if you feel like the evidence is stacked against the person you want to be, you won't believe in your progress. just try to focus on the things you can do for your new self, even if it's a small thing each day.sending you all lots of love and

dating them won’t fix you

2025/03/29

I used to run to relationships as a way to distract myself from my own fear of being alone.I was convinced I was never going to be worthy enough to be loved by someone else. it was after I accepted my irrational fear as a possibility that I finally started to live life on my terms.ask yourself if you're dating someone because you like them and who they are, or are you just entertaining a person to help you forget about the work you still need to do?sending you lots of love and

why you fail to be perfect

the zurkie show ·

2025/03/26

I can't be perfect. it pains me because I want to be perfect.but as human beings, we are flawed. what makes us so special is the way we deal with the mistakes we make on a day to day basis.make mistakes, own up to them and try your best to be better. that's all you can ask of others, including yourself.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaaace⁠https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

stop being nonchalant with yourself

the zurkie show ·

2025/03/23

it's cool to care. it's great to have an opinion. it's awesome to stick by your interests because you find value in them and you think others should know about it.the people who care tend to uplift us and build the things we need as a society. so be a nerd, and a passionate one at that.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaace.https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

why your problems keep getting worse

if you don't catch yourself in a pattern, it will always repeat.this is why self reflection is so important to make the changes we want to see in ourselves. ignore these small decisions, and you will see them compound over time.be mindful of the decisions you make and the way you feel about them.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaaaace⁠https://stan.store/thezurkieshow⁠

does adulthood steal your happiness?

the zurkie show ·

2025/03/17

you need to rekindle the joy you felt as a kid and find a way to embrace it as an adult. if not, then you risk searching for it in places that might not be the best for you.we don't have fun because we choose not to have fun.if you didn't have a good childhood, I'm sorry. the one thing I urge you to consider is this; "how would I treat myself if I were the parent of my younger self?" reclaim the bad as your own. you'll be proud that you did so.send you all love and

why do you want to be rich?

the zurkie show ·

2025/03/14

it's a dilemma we all face.we want money because it will "make us happy" and then we nearly destroy ourselves to obtain it.maybe our relationship with money and status signaling is the problem? or maybe I need to put down my Rick Rubin book...the truth is, there is no real answer. it's only what matters more to us. you decide.sending you all love and peaaaaaaaaace!https://stan.store/thezurkieshow

your rejections don't define you. the way in which you move past them does. maybe that "no" was the best thing that could have ever happened to you.it's all in the way we view our own adversity.sending you lots of love and peaaaaaaaaaace!https://stan.store/thezurkieshow

why does it feel like I’m missing out?

2025/03/04

I used to sit on snapchat on my free time, peering into the lives of people I barely knew. in my mind, it felt like I was going through a never ending hell while they lived their best lives.the fear of missing out drove me to seek out things I felt I deserved. it drove me to do things that were completely out of my character. it wasn't until my second semester of college that I realized... this wasn't who I wanted to be.I urge you to address your fear.sending you lots of love and

why you're so worn out (and how to fix it)

the zurkie show ·

2025/03/03

the romanticization of overachieving is so real. I feel like success used to be measure in consistency and focus, not in how many college club meetings you can attend in one night.I think we have to learn our limits and we have to know when it's time to just scale back what we do. It's better to do less and do it exceptionally well than fail at doing way too many things.sending you all love and peaaaaaaaace!https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow
