Thinking.

I am exercising not taking things personally. It's a challenging task for someone like me. I tend to link things together and jump to conclusions as if the world is all about me. So now as I am trying to practice this behaviour, I mostly fail, but when I don't, it feels peaceful right after.

Boundaries.

I was thinking earlier about relationships and people. More specifically, I came to a personal conclusion that I cannot be anyone's hero, or someone's everything. Or the full pillar for anyone, though I somehow wanted to be that for someone always. I tried my best, but events kept proving me wrong. I realized that I could only be there for the people I love and couldn't actually save them if they didn't want to be saved or helped. I think that I should come to peace with that fact and I genuinely do not understand my obsession with wanting to be someone's home, hug, salvation, peace, and such. Being there for someone can be enough, just listening to them, or showing up for them can be enough. We are all having our own movie or series of events, and our meeting is just like a crossover episode, we don't know whether some characters will make it further to the end of our story, but we still can enjoy their presence while it lasts, and that's the beauty of it.
