In many parts of my life, I neglected to operate in a space of boundaries with those who expected so much out of me.

| 26 Nov 2024 | There's something you need to know | 00:16:31 | |
I've been sitting on this message for a while, and today felt like the right day to share it. As we near the end of 2024, there's often an internal urge to do things differently, to let go of the old and embrace new beginnings. Many of us carry heaviness without even realizing it, and we sometimes burden others with our issues, expecting them to fix things for us. This message is for those who feel heavy or have heavy people around them. Life is inherently heavy at times, but it's unfair to bleed on others and expect them to be content with our residue. Some burdens are meant to be released, not shared. Healing begins with acknowledgment and self-reliance, not by waiting for someone else to carry our weight. It's crucial to understand that letting go doesn't signify weakness—it's our pathway to freedom. Finally, as we approach the new year, it's important to realize that the answers we seek lie within us. We need to sit with ourselves, find peace, and, if necessary, seek wise counsel from those who can genuinely support us. My wish is that these words resonate with you and help awaken a dormant place in your heart and mind. If you know someone who might need to hear this, please share the message with them. | |||
