For so long, I have tried to interject myself into others' lives by trying to help them. However, I realize now it's not my job to help them the same way it's not their job to try and help me.

The moments I was most interested in embracing myself and my life weren't being told how to, but seeing how others embraced themselves and their lives.

I feel a little embarrassed that it took me this long to see. But I know now that my job isn't to give advice, but to show how I'm working on myself so others may decide for themselves if they want to follow in my footsteps.

P.S. What a burden to have lifted off my shoulders. I feel like I can live my life again.
