When you start "shoulding all over yourself" that's your clue that you are living according to other people's expectations, not your own. There is no should, there is only what your gut tells you is right. Of course you need to pay bills, do your job, take care of your kids, etc, but there is no should in how.
I realized with this post finally why I find it hard to capture words when I read your work. (I often just have a yay rather than thoughts lol) It's because your words provide for me a "perch". I completely get to disconnect and be silent within. It doesn't engage me the way some other writers do because I feel the best being my actual self with your words. I get lost. I lay down spiritually. I sit up. I play. I...get to be me.
Whew, how you speak to me, and with me. Thank you!
Thank you for reading! And it was so nice to share time with you at Locked In today 🥰
It was so nice to see you today, Rose.

Doing away with others’ expectations of me is a recurring theme life keeps throwing my way.
Thank you for such a beautiful and inspiring read! 🫶🏾
