Some days, despite your best efforts, something gives. try as we might, juggling all those balls in the air is hard work and one (more than one) fall. It's hard and frustrating and wow, does it make you angry. Because aren't we all supposed to be perfect?
Don't get me started on the perfectionism crap. Nothing and no one is ever perfect. It's why we shout it out when something goes so well we're amazed.
But sometimes we need to give up A Thing we enjoy because it's not quite right for us. It's not that there's no more joy in it, but that joy is tempered.
So, yeah, some times giving up an activity we love for our own peace of mind is necessary. It never, ever makes you less.
And I think that's something we all need to remember. Giving up A Thing does not make you any less than when you gave all your time to That Thing. It just means you changed. There's no shame in returning to That Thing later. But only if it's what you want.
I think that's another thing we don't take into account nearly enough. What I Want. So the question is, what DO you want?
