The above, while used in a different manner by my mom, has been so very freeing. For decades…I thought I was so responsible for things that had absolutely nothing to do with me and for which I had no control….letting that go has been a huge, refreshing sigh. I no longer have to try to figure out another person in order to keep them happy or alternately, prevent them from being angry. I no longer have to try to be perfect or hide mistakes thinking they are bad or wrong. I no longer have to try to fit in or keep goofy, silly parts hidden because other people don’t enjoy those parts like I do. I don’t have to prove myself to anyone…I don’t have to take on anyone else’s feelings, I don’t have to personalize or make mountains out of molehills….i can simply be me…and allow others to be them.
