The Bonding

Dear diary,

I sincerely believe the cause of all my misery is myself. I can explain... I overstretch myself for my loved ones expecting them to notice my actions and appreciate me and because of such unreasonable expectations I end up hurting my loved ones and hurting myself.

So, you see I cause pain to myself and blame others for it. Is it necessary that our actions be based only on expectations or outcomes? Is it possible that we are open to just doing something because we enjoy it and not expecting anything in return.

As I wrote this I felt my pain fade, I feel a sense of balance again and realise that I need to be more self aware going forward. The only expectation will be to ensure I enjoy what I do.

I am so grateful for the day's events that taught me to let go. Hope you have such an Aha moment in your life too!

Keep reading, stay safe, stay happy.
