Like me now, I never get to do the things I love. And one because I came from an opinionated family.

Destiny
17 hours, 2 minutes agoPursuing what we love should bring joy, yet sometimes it feels wrong. This contradiction can stem from guilt, societal expectations, or fear of failure.
1. Guilt and Self-Doubt
Many people feel guilty for enjoying their passions, especially when they believe they should be doing something "more productive." This guilt is often internalized from cultural or familial expectations.
2. Fear of Judgment
Loving something deeply can make us vulnerable. When others criticize or fail to understand our passions, it can create doubt, making us feel like we’re doing something wrong.
3. Struggle Between Passion and Responsibility
Balancing responsibilities with passion can create conflict. If our loved ones expect us to focus on stability over personal joy, doing what we love may seem selfish.
4. Fear of Failure
When we truly care about something, failure feels more personal. This fear can make us hesitate, questioning if we should even try.
5. Breaking Societal Norms
Society often places value on traditional career paths and lifestyles. If our passions don’t align, we might feel like outsiders, struggling with feelings of wrongness.
Conclusion
Feeling wrong while doing what you love is a common struggle, but it doesn’t mean you should stop. Overcoming these feelings requires self-acceptance, confidence, and the courage to follow your passions despite external pressures.
