Let’s Unpack…

The past few weeks have been trying. I’ve experienced so many changes from career to even my health that I am just feeling the burn in burned out. Over the course of several weeks I was quarantined, moved, finally got a booster shot, bought tires, got brakes and jolted into another set of problems, that I will not disclose.

Ultimately, I feel like I was ripped off (regarding my brakes), still need two more tires, have NOT unpacked all of my boxes (from my move) and had a near mental health crisis that lead to me having to enforce some serious boundaries. Not one time have I complained about anything UNTIL I realized what was going in three areas of my life and I had to get real-really quick. People only treat you, how you allow them to treat you.

The problem with the type of person I am is that I will walk around like nothing is wrong and will keep a game face BUT GOD! Although, I have admitted to being a bit of a spiritual gangster, someone who can pray and possibly curse you out at the same time — I am only one person and it is not my responsibility to make everyone else feel my pain. I had to really take accountability for allowing those types of scenarios to derail me.

Next time you find yourself spiraling or mad at someone who may very well be dealing with life themselves, check in with yourself because often times not only will you spare yourself of additional pain and suffering BUT you could save someone else from the added stress of trying to dump on them.
