Jessica HagyJun 09, 20234Share this post10 Vicious Cycles jessicahagy.substack.comCopy linkFacebookEmailNoteOther4ShareWhat is cause and effect are one and the same? Then you’re stuck in a loop like this: Are you sad because of the gross stuff online or do you seek out the gross stuff because you’re sad? Do you get things done because you believe you can or do you only believe you can once you do? Are the children well-behaved because they’re afraid of being beaten or are they well-behaved because they are waiting for the perfect moment to exact their revenge?Does your success make you appealing or are you only successful because your face was already pretty? Did you get sick because you were exhausted or is your illness stealing all your energy? Do you keep secrets from your boss because you know she’s tracking your every keystroke or does she track every keystroke because she knows you’re hiding something? Does he have a lot of friends because he’s an icon in his field or did he become an icon in his field by knowing the right people? Will you live longer because you can afford the medicine or did you only manage to build a nest egg because you never got hit with a huge medical bill? Do people avoid you because you’re hostile or are you hostile because you have nobody to talk to? Did Impostor Syndrome prevent you from becoming magnificent or are you just genuinely mediocre?
