I get stuck in this loop a lot. I care too much, overthink what I should do, and feel like I need to make the right decision. I’ve been trying to get better at not taking on everyone else’s problems, but it’s tough. I have this deep sense of responsibility for the people around me, and honestly, it’s exhausting. This really hit close to home.

Hi Brandi! Thank you so much for reading and commenting! 🙏

I know exactly what you mean, we must set our boundaries, and it's usually not a nice feeling, that's how you know you grow.

You sound like a lovely person, and I think we're quite similar. I was hoping to inspire people to reflect on their choices and maybe act a bit different next time they face that dilemma.

I now very well that the problems we face come back to us until we solve them, so I bet you'll have more opportunities to choose yourself, and perhaps next time you'll be more aware, just as I am now.🧡

I just love what you wrote! It resonates deeply with me in line with my work helping my Kidney Dialysis Patients to get funding for their treatments. It has crossed my mind many times, so & so, is it genuine case? Where do I draw a line? In the end, what the hack, I have nothing to lose, give them the benefit of the doubt.My conscious is clear. I don't do the profiling of the patients but the company does. My job is to link the patients with the company, they decide whether the patients deserve to get the funding.

I have done my part & move on. That's how I look at the things!

Thank you so much for taking the rime ro read and comment! 🙏🏼

It's hard to feel like you could've helped, but then there's also your company boundaries, and your personal involvement boundaries.

We can't always choose others, sometimes it's ok to choose us.😊
