Your words have been going around in my head ever since I read them earlier today, and I wanted to thank you for writing them. You're so right.
I told my therapist today that my world always feels like a big circle, with me in the middle, and my job is to grab all the flying objects and keep them in the circle. All the bills to pay, the drama to handle, the financial worries, just everything. As I heard myself saying that, your words came into my head and I realized that I was on one big, huge power trip! I'd never thought of it that way before so it was truly an Ah-ha! moment for me.
It's time I started making my circle much, much smaller, and begin handing off the responsibilities that were never mine to start with. Thank you.
