Like a Ton of Bricks

With overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and intrusive thoughts lurking around every corner this past week, my therapist gently reminded me the other day that I need to choose me and put down the heavy burdens I’m carrying right now. 

Some days feel way heavier than others.

I wear other people’s emotions like a glove. I totally acknowledge that I tend to pick up everything around me as though it’s a brick. 

Life has handed me a ton of bricks over the last many years, most of which I can not control. 

This week, those bricks tried to bury me.

So this weekend, I choose me. 

Choosing to let go of all the bricks that are weighing me down. 

As best I know how. 

With the tools I have been given. 

And maybe just for a moment, those bricks will start to feel lighter, like a feather.

Dare to dream.
