Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’ve come far enough through my own version of this that I want to be the person I needed back then for someone just entering it
• Something genuinely good happens and I just sit on it
• I’m changing and growing on my own and they’re changing on theirs, but none of it is together
• Something genuinely good happened today and I noticed I just kept it to myself and moved on
• I notice almost all my stories end the same way
