-DZ, Albuquerque
Most of the time I focus on others rather than myself. My need to fix other people’s problems and struggles is the burden that I carry. Even before I got locked up, I had to be the person to solve problems and the person everyone could count on. That made me neglect all of my problems and eventually I got hurt.
I am an extremely caring and loving person, but I have learned that I can’t help anyone until I help myself first. I have finally decided it is time for me to put the love, energy and time I have into making sure I’m okay and stay that way. I am ready to become the best version of myself I can be. I’m lucky that I have people there to help me along the way, because I don’t even know if I would make it alone.
I can’t wait to have that weight lifted off my shoulders and finally be free from all the worries I carry that aren’t even mine. That is how I am going to release my burden.
I hope you all could do the same!
