I have (finally?!) realized that I can not control anyone else's thoughts, actions…or feelings...
No matter what I do.
No matter how nice I am.
No matter how good my intentions are.
No matter how many times I call to remind them how much I care...
And I can’t make anyone like me. Or make them happy. I can't.
Though I sure do exhaust myself trying...
I surrender. I give up! I’m letting go...
And I feel better already.
Of course, I hope you do too.

I so know what you mean, this post so adequately summarizes the way I feel today. I am glad someone out there have similar thoughts and feelings.
have a lovely weekend Julie.;) xo
I do!
I understand what you are saying. After many years of trying to make everyone happy, trying to figure out how someone is feeling and justifying someone's actions I came to the conclusion that I am only in charge of how I feel and my own happiness. Since figuring this out my life has been much less stressful. You can only control your own thoughts, feelings and actions.
Your cousin,
