What @Lionfish said.
I spent so much time trying to “help” fix the people around me. And it’s exhausting, I think because it doesn’t work. It’s spinning my tires. All I can change is my part of a relationship. Their behavior shouldn’t have so much bearing on mine.
Plus a lot of time my making the effort to be a better, more present person alone turns the ship around.
And if it doesn’t, well… Maybe it’s not the relationship I thought it was. But how can I know that if I’m not staying present and being true to myself first?
