This bit hits. "I sometimes think my creative synapses are burnt.. I hate how money has changed who I am and who I thought I was. The hardest part to face in all this is that I feel like I hadn’t scratched the surface of my capability."
I feel like I'm constantly learning how to battle my (justified) scarcity mindset as a working class person, while also learning to not beat myself up for being x steps behind.

Oh Kayleigh I’m sorry it resonates, you’re right, we do have to keep remembering that there is enough space for all of us in some way and hope that we find that. Wishing you love and ease!
You were always talented back in Uni, and made us laugh.. a lot! If not now, you’re certainly destined for more success soon iA! Keep going, you’re influential for sure!
Ameen Ameen. Thank you so much. Honestly Allah is the only reason I’m still getting through this, I know He’s got better things planned for me and us inshallah 💗
