Some days this whole #caring thing is such a struggle.
I’m bad at letting things ‘wash over’ me, even though I know the person for whom I #care can’t help but… [insert whatever petty, trivial issue has ruffled my feathers today].
I know I’m ‘cutting my nose off to spite my face’ at times. But the inner battle is so ferocious… I hate that I’m trapped and yet know that I could and should make better choices which would alleviate the situation. These choices are muddled by misplaced guilt and the desire to smooth my person’s path…
I’m hopeless at ‘balance’, always have been… had a terrible work life balance. And now this…
Sorry for garbled post. Emotions all over the place…
Happy Monday everyone!

@TalktoBeverley@mas.to I say this to women a lot, but: Allow for the possibility that you're not in the wrong. Give yourself a little of the grace you extend to others. And if you're going through something, even if it seems silly or in your own head, you don't have to minimize it. Whatever is happening, I hope you are able to overcome it. ❤️
