My Own Burden Not Yours

I sit and contemplate why I still go back to the drama. I have seen and dealt with enough problems in my life but they seem to keep causing me some pain. I don’t need people to treat me like I owe them something or that I am their therapist to solve their problems. I am a helper and that is all good but certain things are not my job to do. This is your job and don’t need these energies placed upon me. I am here to shine and live my truth, not yours. So this is wisdom I have to listen to but sometimes I just let it slide and then I get upset. I have a life that is full of magic and just because you are lost doesn’t mean I have to be on your level. You can find your way back but it takes work and patience. This is your job to meet God halfway so you can walk the prayer with that support and this can create the change you may be looking for. Life is hard enough without getting blasted with other people’s opinions and problems. I carry my weight and you can carry your own. I am happy to know that when things do not feel loving I can step away and let it be and feel guilt-free and happy. You teach people how to treat you with how you treat yourself and how you set healthy boundaries. When I falter in my self-care and spiritual responsibilities then I fall victim to my demise of attraction to negative past habits and tendencies. I see my patterns and how they still can be a little disheartening and disappointing. I do my best not to beat myself over it today but some days I slip into self-created abuse. I am okay for at least I see it and can turn my day around just like that. Thank you, God, for helping me practice the gentle way of our relationship and this honest conversation we have together for it’s a real joy and pleasure how we work things out.
