Is it really YOU?

​IS IT REALLY YOU?
-------------
Doing something that isn't really your jam...
and then feeling anxious/ upset/ out-of-place...
and then telling yourself it's your fault and something must be wrong w you...

IS LIKE a bird diving into a fishbowl,
not being able to breathe
and then blaming himself
"I'm defective," he says...

Furthermore, telling yourself "if I only could adapt"
or "if I could just fix something about myself and this would feel different"...

IS JUST AS EFFECTIVE
As the bird in the fishbowl thinking a wetsuit will solve his woes...
Sure.. perhaps an oxygen tank would help...
But the bird STILL AIN'T a fish...
​
REMEMBER: You (and this bird) aren't defective. It's probably just the context
