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 peaaaaaace!!!https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

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

how long will you let them hurt you?
I used to love toxicity. I loved when I didn't get a text back because I was being ignored or punished. I loved hearing my partner beg me to stay. isn't love supposed to be something you can feel? or is that just something we tell ourselves to cope with our bad choices...all of that chasing led me to a path of self destruction, until I found myself at ground zero. if this is your ground zero, I ask you to keep an open mind.you deserve better, you deserve to be you, you can change.love you, peaaaaaaaaaace!!!https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

don’t let others think for you
we all care what other people think. it's inevitable. we want to fit in, we want to feel like we belong. but maybe taking someone's opinion as fact is depriving you from joy you never knew existed.if you feel like trying something out would benefit your life, give it a shot. sometimes nuanced perspectives do more harm than good.love you, peaaaaaaace!!!https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

silence is where you face your fear
I used to be the first person to find a distraction from my feelings. after years of feeling worse and worse about myself and my relationships, I ended up figuring out that I just needed to face the quiet. I needed to let people talk before I put words in their mouth.sending you all love and peaaaaaaaace!https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow
