The Gods Of Guilt

Visualize this: You’re standing at the edge of a hazy landscape without end

every time you take a step forward, you feel immediately pulled back 

Because Behind you are ..whispers, a veil of shadows where the figures from your past live indefinitely 

the person you used to be, 

the choices you wish you’d made. 

They’re the Gods of Guilt, and they’re demanding your attention, making you feel like you owe them something.

The thing is, these figures have no real power over you. They’re illusions, like fog you can walk through. 

But as long as you believe that they have control, you’ll stay in their orbit, trapped in that constant loop of wondering, “Was I better then - than I am now?”

And what happens when you get stuck in this loop? You start making choices that aren’t about growth or happiness. They’re about survival. They’re about staying comfortable, not risking anything, because deep down, you’re scared you’ll disappoint yourself. 

Or that you’ll never live up to who you once thought you were. It’s the classic self-sabotage spiral, and it all happens impulsively, almost without you realizing it.

But let me ask you—when did those shadows, those past expectations, get to decide who you are? 

Why do they get to have the authority to hold you back from what you want now?

Think about it: The person you used to be, the one you’re so afraid of not living up to—they were figuring it out, just like you are now. 

They didn’t have all the answers, they didn’t walk some perfect path. 

They fell, they struggled, and they kept going. And every step of that journey led to you, standing here, ready to take the next step.

Yes, it took clawing your way through hard days and nights to get here.

You fought, you learned, and you’ve evolved. 

That version of you in the past? They’re part of your story, but they’re not the entire story. You’re here now, and that is everything 

So what if, right here and right now, you gave yourself permission to walk away from those shadows? To stop bowing to the gods of guilt, to step forward without looking back, and to honor who you are today.

Because here’s the truth: You don’t owe anything to the person you used to be. The only commitment you need to make is to the version of you 

who’s here right now, listening to this, ready to step up and take action.

Accept your mind and body in every form they’ve taken—past, present, and future. You don’t need to be haunted by old expectations, by memories of “what if.” You’re here now. And it’s exactly where you’re meant to be.

So, let’s take a moment. Breathe. Release those gods of guilt. 

Let the hazy tones of your past slip through into. Nothingness while you take your first step into the unknown without soul crushing burden of shadows that always threatened to consume you if you didn’t feed them.

put the doubt to rest as you string a new …

to move forward with strength and confidence. You’re enough, as you are, today. And I don’t want you to ever doubt that.
