Stop giving credit to a ghost for work you actually did.
I see people going through absolute hell, grinding their way out of it, and then they get on their knees to thank someone else for the “strength” to survive.
It’s not God. It’s literally just your brain refusing to shut down.
If you survived a breakdown or a massive life crisis, that was your own grit.
That “Thank god” line is such a cope.
