Guilt Trips?

One emotion that almost always adheres to my happiness is guilt. I feel guilty, almost always, when I'm happy. Almost like I feel like don't deserve to be happy. Which is outlandish, but sometimes I just can't dust that feeling off of me.

Hello there, I'm 'the Earthian', a nickname I've picked out for myself just to be a little more inclusive of the planet and be a bit grateful for everything it has offered to me.

And the reason, as I've discovered, is that primarily, I often attach negative stigma to myself. Every time I think of something I've achieved or accomplished, there's always an asterisk that I've added to that accomplishment in the name of being grounded and humble. That's neither true humility nor complete happiness. It's somewhere in between and that's why there's guilt where it doesn't belong. If you too are someone who experiences this, remember, humility has nothing to do with undermining your achievements or qualities. And as far as staying grounded goes, remember that you were always meant to fly, not stay grounded.

Love, peace.
