And knowing that it's going to be there, but I'm going to do this thing anyway because my vision of the future is so delicious.

It's pulling me into that.

I cannot stay in this anymore.

You know, I think for me, sometimes, you know, and I'm a recovering people pleaser, very open about that.

And like, I...

will stay in a situation that's not right for me because it's easier to stay than to leave.

And it's easier to assume the burdens of whatever's going on wrong.

Like I've always, you know, like I'm a Capricorn, I'm a middle child.

I'm used to, I grew up in a women's shelter for part of my childhood.

like I'm used to putting a lot on my shoulders and going, no, no, no, no, I'll take it from you.

I'm strong enough.

I can do this.

But then what I started realizing was over time, I was collapsing and I had nothing for myself anymore.

And I was constantly coming last.

And so that's what I'm getting better at is realizing too, that it's like, I have to, it's the moment where

staying is harder than leaving, you know?

Totally.

Is that what happened with you?

I think that's what happened with me.

I mean, it doesn't feel like that in the moment.
