I completely get it. When i was younger I wanted to save the world from disease (diabetes, cancer, heart disease) . I signed up clients, coached them.. i would even go to their houses.. I was obsessed with changing the world.. I still am to a degree, but now i can't want change for a person who really doesn't want it. I burned out, I packed up and now trying to change the world in a more subtle way, not sure how yet... Still figuring it out.. The badge of strong, and tenacious is too much to bear.

Probably why i moved to the middle of no where, and if I could disappear sometimes i think i would.. I was thinking this earlier today.

I refuse to want something more than the one asking any longer, I accept love and to release the "badges" that others have bestowed upon me.
