My sweet Judith !!! She’s such a vibe, her energy is everything, love her story! Reminds me of me in a sense. I didn’t pursue criminal justice, the field I studied in. 😮💨 But I don’t regret it🫶🏻 I think and feel I’m on the right path 🫂
Ana! Girlfriend, thank you so much for the love. I appreciate you and your light always. I feel you with the family piece - I believe you ARE on the right path, too! I love how you continue to share your light. So glad I got to see you at the Summit earlier this month
I cannot get enough Judith. And yeah, committing to a lifelong career in your teens/early career is wild! If you think you're on the right path, you are.
Like Judith, I also ended up studying law … not because it was my dream, but because I felt like I had to. I couldn’t say no. I was so afraid of disappointing my family that I buried my own dreams deep inside. For years, I told myself this was the “right” thing to do. But in doing that, I lost touch with what I really wanted.
This story felt like reading a version of myself … especially the part about lying just to buy time, and still carrying the weight of “maybe I’ll do it later” because it’s easier than admitting the truth. The shame, the guilt, the questioning… “Who turns down a ‘big’ opportunity?” I’ve asked myself that too many times.
But reading this… it gave me courage. ✨
Courage to believe that maybe choosing myself isn’t selfish. That it’s okay to want something different. That I’m not alone. So thank you, Judith … for sharing your truth. You gave voice to something I’ve carried silently for a long time. I hope one day I’ll be brave enough to say “no” too … and not feel ashamed of it. ❤️🩹
Thank you so much for sharing this with me and our community I know it can be so scary to admit what we really want, especially if it doesn't match with what the people we love and care about want. I hope you give yourself grace and patience to know that you are doing the best you can, and it's okay to feel how you feel. You are so courageous for even daring to say no. You are worthy of writing your own story. xx Judith
Thank you so, so much Judith. Your words truly mean the world to me. 🥹 I felt seen, understood, and supported … and that’s something I’ll always carry with me. Thank you for reminding me that I’m allowed to write my own story. Sending you so much love. 💖💌
Love this so much and can totally relate as my parents never were supportive sadly. My chosen family always encourages me and having bestie in this community helps too 🩷
Just read the whole convo and I'm taken aback, I relate so much with Judith, being jobless and unmarried at the age of 28 (ok 29 in 3 months) is horrendous in Indian household, I'm sorry I'm choked and emo as I type but this status of mine is very shameful to my parents, yes they support me thru and thru but sometimes they also give up and I get to listen to long lectures that are very hurting but I can't help, yes it does break me emotionally and mentally, sometimes I just feel like giving up everything and think I'm good for nothing in life but then reading this kinda chat and constant nudges from Rare Beauty gives me that enlightenment again, if anything just pray I get my dream job as soon as possible and make my parents proud…I've one wildest dream, that one day I can conduct a Rare chat session in my college where I would practice…one thing keeps me going is “What's meant for you, will find a way to you sooner or later” ❤️
Judith asked me to get in touch with this note from her!
