Sometimes we become so aligned with the world around us that we lose alignment with ourselves.
Someone’s disappointment becomes our guilt. Their expectations become our obligations. Their chaos becomes the way we live.
And somewhere along the way, caring for ourselves becomes something we’ll do when everyone else is okay.
But when you begin aligning your choices with your own values, needs and self respect, you stop making your wellbeing dependent on everyone else’s comfort.
You can love someone and let them be disappointed. You can face uncertainty and still care for your body. You can be needed without leaving yourself behind.
The world may still be burning. You begin to understand that you don’t have to burn with it.
