Twenty-word Story

I've been lied to, and the only two people who knew the truth have died without revealing it to me.

When Pleasing Others Leaves You Empty

 

If I had known she was never going to be happy regardless of what I did to please her, and that I would have to defend myself against her lies while she was alive, and even the lies she told people about me that I discovered months after she died, I would have given up trying to please her and focused on pleasing myself. I wasted so much time filling her up while I was empty.

I am still cleaning up the mess she made. 

This blog post reflects on the profound realization that spending too much time and energy trying to please someone who will never be satisfied can leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care and prioritizing our own well-being. Sometimes, it's necessary to recognize that it's okay to let go of people who are impossible to please and focus on nurturing ourselves. This self-awareness can help us reclaim the time and energy we need to build a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Judgment

He estado pensando—estoy enojado con ella; me hizo daño. Pero por otro lado, ahora está muerta, y Dios es el juez supremo.

Some Housecleaning Is Necessary

 So, if you choose not to share your personal information with everyone, it tends to irritate those who feel entitled to know everything about you?  And they will resort to creating and spreading assumptions in response?      Ok, got it.
