Kind of how my day is going!

And I'm not going to be told I should shrink myself into a box someone else demands I fit into.

This time of year it's tempting to over-extend ourselves. I wake up and remind myself to keep things simple and avoid burning myself out.

[stygiadragynknight]

I can count 4 people in my life that fit that criteria.

I often find myself wishing for a magic wand I can just wave to make everything just fall into place, in spite of knowing better. I need to accept myself before I can move forward to grow as a person.

I'm ready to stop beating myself up and to stop allowing others to beat me up and hold my past mistakes over my head.

There's a reason I've never been big on being a "joiner". By nature, I've always been a free spirit. But what happens when a creative free spirited Witch who takes on a writing career living in a lifelong environment of controlling people who claim to be doing it for her own good? I'll tell you what happens. It sucks the life out of her that's what. It pisses her off. People, just let her be who she is. You say "it's for her own good", but what's really going on is something bad happened. You lost someone and the way you're dealing with it is to become outrageously controlling. She can't enjoy anything anymore because you don't approve of the things she enjoys on her own. It has to be with you or she'd better be working at writing what you demand she write instead of what she's inspired to write. Just because you've come to hate your job doesn't mean you need to suck the joy out of the lives of others. She doesn't want to join clubs or groups because she's a free spirit and if she joins something, it's going to need to be on her terms. Back off! You're doing more harm than good!

Rant over.

Wielding energy irresponsibly can create harm you didn't intend, and/or have consequences for you that you don't expect. I've learned the hard way to "be careful what I wish for" even in jest.

When we start making positive changes, some of the people around us will become uncomfortable because they like the status quo. When we dump the negative muck and raise our vibration, these people will feel their position threatened so they will become passive aggressive and make it clear they don't like the change. That tells us that they aren't our friends and it's time to distance ourselves from them.

I think about my Zoey every day and miss her! She was the perfect familiar ❤️
