De-cluttering my Life.

It's like I have this desperate urge to start all over again with a blank slate...

And so I ruthlessly purge all the Unnecessary in my Life.

I need a Serious Deep Reflection Session with Myself.

I can't live my whole life investing emotions on every single thing/person in my life.

I need to learn to say no. I need to learn how to stop feeling obliged to be nice, to care, to accommodate people's emotions all the time at the expense of mine. I need to stop thinking that they care as much as I think they do when in reality, they probably don't. I need to stop feeling guilty and sorry about being inadequate to people all the time, stop feeling the need to be accepted by everyone.

Because it's tiring and it leaves me numb.

Questions. Answers. Decisions. Never liked 'em much.

Wow, this is heavy. I sometimes struggle with the same things you mentioned here. I've yet to take the steps you're taking though. So I'd be really interested in knowing how this renaissance of sorts work out for you.

Well, it's proving harder than I thought it would be.
Defining boundaries is the hardest part. Not to mention that it's making me feel bitch-y.
O well.
