happiness in this lifetime
So many obstacles in my life right now, with my family issues being at the root while others are on the surface.
You know how like one problem leads to another, and eventually ending up in one huge shitpile? Like a butterfly effect?
Problems within my own family leads to me being insecure, causing my lack of self-confidence, allowing others to step all over me, & finally leading to my unhappiness.
I never wanted to take on my parents' problems, but what happens when they try to put it upon you, albeit unknowingly? Can you say no to your parents when you know deep down their lives are calling out for help? How do you even draw a line with how much you wanna know?
Until I am able to address that within my own life, I'll never learn how to stand up for myself or for the people around me.
I need to break through all these. Giving up is NOT an option.
