I’ve always held the weight of the world on my own shoulders.
I held strong to manage and contain others’ emotions.
Constantly people pleasing and always ignoring my own needs or even wants.
I no longer carry what’s not mine. I control myself and myself only.
I don’t need to carry someone else’s burdens. I can be a compassionate human being, of course. But I don’t need to carry someone else’s pain.
I need to work through my own pain and learn and grow from it.
I preach to my clients constantly that they need to take care of themselves before they can take care of others. Now I’m practicing what I preach🖤
