Why You Should Listen...
Maybe you can relate to this. For as long as I can remember, I have been one of those girls who wanted to be liked, accepted; wanted to please everyone (family, friends, kids, etc) – but never felt satisfied. Why could someone who was such a people pleaser want to please everyone but herself? The answer was never really clear to me until I hit rock bottom at the old age of 40. I was spending so much time trying to make everything perfect for everyone else that I never thought I was important enough to stop and ask myself ‘what is it that you want? What makes YOU happy?’
I would listen to friend after friend tell me they were unhappy with their marriage, their jobs, the day-to-day grind that in my head I was saying ‘YES! I totally relate!’ but I was too ashamed and embarrassed to admit it. I didn’t want anyone to know I was secretly feeling the same pain/misery/unhappiness they were feeling. Why did I feel like I had to keep it together all the time? How could someone who seemingly had the “perfect” life be so unhappy?
I started turning my journaling about feelings into songs. And now, I want to share those with you in hopes it helps others who feel the same way as I did know they’re not alone.
Join me as we take a deep dive into these murky waters. It's not always going to be comfortable, but sometimes being uncomfortable is the best way to grow.
