I no longer feel like I have anything to prove. I don’t feel like I have to do anything anymore! It was so exhausting to feel that way around people, it’s gone now. I feel like “How could it be this easy”! I feel like I just dropped a lot of weight that I’ve been carrying- it all just went poof! it’s an overwhelming feeling but in a good sense, to not be carrying around all that weight, it was suffocating, I’d become so withdrawn, now I feel it all evaporating. No wonder I had been feeling so exhausted, I had a landfill of stuff that’s not mine, wow! That was really cool, that was different, it’s such a big release!
