What is this feeling?

Anger? No.

Frustration? No.

Lost? Confused? No.

Flustered? Possibility.

I feel like a failure.

I’m now 30 and can't figure out what I am doing or going.

I know the end goal but why is it so difficult?

I know what I want but why can't I grab it?

I know what to do but there's something stopping me.

A roadblock? No.

People? No.

Me? A good Possibility.

Why? I don’t know.

Why am I the greatest downfall?

Okay, okay. Let's fix that.

How do I do that?

Need to find the inner core of self Sabotag.

You are your greatest enemy.

They say to keep your friends close but your enemy closer.

But how can I do that when you, yourself are your own enemy?
