  • It Best Not Be Me!

    I am irresponsible with my Light, with my self, with my body, with all the giggles, delight and pleasures, inspiration, free spirit feelings, art, my peace, my joy and my love, I leave them to suffer with others!

     

    I am irresponsible in not wholly feeling, owning, and enjoying with abandon, me.

     

    “Enjoying with abandon” strikes me as an odd choice of words that came out.

     

    I literally do feel that I abandon ‘someone’ if I simply and totally enjoy myself!  That it is wrong to focus on just me.  Just me

     

    Living my life separate and free. 

     

    How is it that I feel so much like I am abandoning others when I do this?

     

    The feeling of doing wrong while doing right has plagued me since I left my dysfunctional family.  It is the thread that has run through every thing.

     

    The abandoning I am doing is actually a good thing; I am separating myself, my life from themselves and their lives. 

    No one tells you that as you walk out of co-dependent behavior YOU will feel like you are abandoning him or her. 

     

    Abandoning, I had to go look up the definition.

     

    1.    leave somebody behind: to leave somebody or something behind for others to look after, especially somebody or something meant to be a personal responsibility

    2.    leave place because of danger: to leave a place or vehicle, especially for reasons of safety and without intending to return soon

    3.    renounce something: to renounce or reject something previously done or used

    Synonyms: dump, ditch, discard, dispose of, throw out, throw away

     

    The only reason I can feel like I am abandoning others is that I feel responsible for others.

     

    You simply can’t abandon something you are not responsible for!

     

    Yet each time I am sucked into feeling responsible for another’s feelings, I am abandoning my own feelings.

     

    If I have to abandon someone, it best not be me!

     

    “If I pick you up, I put me down!”
