When You Drop the Shoe Yourself 🩴

Ever heard the phrase “waiting for the other shoe to drop”?

Well… some of us don’t wait.

We drop the shoe ourselves — just to end the suspense 😶‍🌫️

You pick a fight when things are going well.

You pull away before they can.

You sabotage your progress the moment it starts to look promising.

Not because you want to fail —

but because the unknown feels worse than the familiar pain.

Because at least when you’re the one who causes it,

you get to say:

“At least I knew it was coming” 😮‍💨

Here’s the truth bomb 💥

You created that future — just to feel safe in it.

And that’s wild, isn’t it?

You gave yourself the ending… just so it wouldn’t catch you off guard.

Just so you didn’t have to sit with “What if?”

But here’s the magic you missed:

If you’re the one creating your future anyway…

why not create the version you actually want? 🌅✨

You already have the power to shape what’s coming.

You just keep shaping it to look like what you’re used to —

even if it’s disappointing.

Even if it hurts.

Because it’s familiar. And familiar feels safe.

But you’re not here to repeat.

You’re here to rewrite 🖋️🌱

So next time you feel the urge to cut it short, mess it up, or test how much they care —

pause.

Breathe.

Then ask yourself:

What if I choose a different ending this time?

What if I let it go right? 💫

You don’t have to drop the shoe.

You can walk on 🚶‍♀️
