Broccoli was it for me. Today, I eat it like it is candy corn. As for your main idea here, I think I want to please everyone, and that is alot of my root issues. I am stuck in conforming to what is expected of me, to an extent. I'd like to be more carefree, but being head of household, it is somewhat difficult.
My past was wanting to please everyone as well! Can't please them all and it's exhausting. Curious why you think it's harder as head of household. Seems to me, and that leadership position, it might be easier…
I guess as head of household here in the Bible Belt, I have always felt like I had to conform to, not a standard, but what is viewed as "normal"?? Not sure if that is the term.
Oh honey I get you more now. I am from the south as well. Tennessee... I know that feeling. But I implore you to examine why you feel that way. What if you didn't conform? What if you walked thru the grocery store, or through your neighborhood all nonconforming. Imagine it...what would happen? Visualize worst case scenario and see what your real fears are. Only way out is through. 😘
