While being overwhelmed.
I am the kind of person who walks around with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I worry about my family, my job, my debts, my friends, my community. I worry that there are people who need food, shelter and safety. I worry that my family and friends do not know how much I love them.
These worries though help define who I am, I worry because I care and my heart is full of love. I see suffering and injustice in the world and I want to stop it, speak out against it and make the world better. Unfortunately I am passionate, inarticulate, full of anger and frustration; which I find is a very volatile combination.
I know that all of these worries, anger and frustration have a negative impact on my health and I fear how it may effect me in the long term. Unfortunately I have been this way for so long the habit is ingrained in me and I just cannot seem to let it go. Somedays I just want to put some of it down.
Finding balance and peace
