When it comes to being myself, I’m always thinking about not letting other people’s stuff affect me. It’s because I empathize way too easily and end up not knowing what I should be doing for them. But maybe, just maybe, their issues are things they need to handle on their own. I can empathize to an extent while still staying true to myself. I always think, “don’t be selfish.” But if they’re affecting my mental and emotional health, that’s not really okay, is it? (A bit of a ramble I know…) I just feel like if I were in their shoes, and my emotions were impacting them like this, I’d question, is this really what friendship should be about?
Everyone always says, “just pray about it and everything will be fine.” admitting you can’t handle it and leaving it up to the universe. I guess I’ll give it a shot and see how things are by this time next week! I really just need a little time to rest.
