Tomorrow, everyone can leave me alone.

I have people pleased all I can. It's what it feels like when I'm empty and my son needs me and I have to deal with his father who annoys me to no end. I've have had to put on my pleasant face to go into public and push my body into uncomfortable places to do the normal boring life things. People are bugging me about things tomorrow...

When I feel this way I know I'm depleted and I need to slow down and shut everyone out. It all gets too loud in my head. *Do this. Do that. Somebody wants this or somebody is taking offense to me talking so I have to walk on eggshells. Everyone wants attention but nobody is paying attention...*

Tomorrow I walk into the woods and I don't come out until I'm ready. To hell with everything else for a bit.

The older I get the harder it gets and the more space I need.

I try to always be available for my son but sometimes I'm pushing so hard for him I exceed my limits.

I have to embrace the alone of it all. I have to recenter and focus on what I need to do most and give that my best.
