I have been trying to be very mindful and self-aware lately. In keeping with that theme, I have been putting alot of thought into a certain topic that I wish to explore a bit more this evening. Throughout all of these tumultuous and destructive relationships in my life, I have come to a rather shocking realization: as much as I have liked to place blame on all of the men in my life, that hasn't been entirely fair. While many of them were emotionally unavailable and a few were cruel douchebags, it is completely unfair and unrealistic to put the entire responsibility of your life into someone else's hands. Was it his job to make me feel happy, safe, comfortable, accepted, or loved? Uhhh, no. Those are first and foremost my responsibilities. Taking responsibility for myself will allow me to have more authentic and intimate relationships rather than clinging to these men like my life depends on it. Here's to making healthier choices in the future!
