To be clear, I am not a therapist! I am just very interested in and passionate about self-awareness and personal growth :)

Contrast has to be felt. The difference between where I am and where I want to be. The difference is giving your a push.
Thank you. I'm currently in therapy, and recently we talked about how a lot of my life consisted of the word "should". I've been told to explore alternative words but it did not click. Realizing this, I've felt stuck ever since because I don't know what I want to do. It felt like everything was certain to fail, whether it is my future or myself. What I've been doing only felt like it aligned with what others wanted for me, and that I never got a chance to fully explore what I wanted to do. And anything else I do that are not what they ask of me, is not what I should do.
A lot of things happened and I'm burnt. I don't know what I want or aim to do, and what is good for me. Circumstances right now are not ideal, but your words that it does not define me is something I needed to hear. Accepting is hard because it kinda seems that I've subjected myself to everyone's expectations and should continue to do so for the rest of my life. Accountability is also a scary word as it does get thrown a lot in a weaponized way, and just proves how wrong I am in doing things to which I beat myself a lot with.
It's really scary, and I probably have a lot of things to do once I do accept my circumstances and take accountability (myself and others), but a lot more tolerable and clearer thanks to you.
You dropped this at the very right time haha. Maybe it also shows that I'm not alone in feeling this. And to anybody out there also struggling currently, I hope you get to be where you want to be someday. :)
I'm glad this helped! You're definitely not alone in feeling this. And accountability doesn't have to be scary--it's simply you being there for yourself. It's not always easy or comfortable, but it's what's best for you in the long run. And instead of worrying about what you need to do in the grand scheme of things, I'd say to focus instead on tapping into what you're being called to right now. Your intuition probably already knows, but it's being clouded by the anxiety and expectations of others.
Always good content Ms Kat
Surprised you didn't mention improv as a way to learn to accept in real time really quickly.
I didn't even think of that, but it can definitely help! I took one improv class in the past and it really does force you to focus on the present moment and nothing else.
