Growing up, I thrived on being the responsible one. Need something done, someone to bail you out, an issue to be confronted – I was your girl. Until I wasn’t anymore. One day something snapped in me and that house of cards came tumbling down.
Sometimes it’s hard to see the ugly truth and yet, seeing with clarity is the only thing that helps us break the destructive cycles.
I’m glad that you came to that realization, VJ.

well said, VJ; it’s a cross we take off our backs when we stop making ourselvs responsible for others behavior especially if they’re not prepared to chip in their contribution.

Una aptitud positiva. En tu post. Ojalá se puedan, de nuevo, construir castillos. No de naipes, sino, de convicciones que nos hagan felices. Ésto sería ideal. Primero para uno mismo. Más tarde para los demás. En resumen , para todos porque, al final, somos uno. Todos peculiares, todos iguales. Chao, buena gente!
