I think having nothing to prove is one of the most liberating feelings.
You can walk away whenever you like.
You don’t care what others think, you know your self worth.
But feeling sub optimal and desperate to convince the people who live rent free in your head that you are worthy means you ignore the red flags in pursuit of the goal.
That’s when you do damaging things like stay in an unhealthy relationship way too long or throw your life away working or play despite being in serious pain.
