Are You a Prisoner in Somebody Else´s Life?

Humanity has created these over-the-top rules and expectations about what kind of a person you should be in order to be accepted by society.
What kind of partner you should be, what kind of parent or child you should be, what kind of friend you should be, etc. 

If you do not meet the criteria, you are not worthy. Crazy, huh?

Nobody actually cares about your individuality or if you are genuinely and deeply happy!

Just follow the rules!?

But in the midst of pleasing everybody else, you lose yourself so you can fit in and be publicly accepted. You get drawn into the lives and dramas of other people. You find yourself doing chores for others that you don´t even like doing or have time for. But you must because that´s what is expected of you if you care or want to be worthy of love!

Ask yourself: "All these people I´m trying so hard to please, are they doing the same for me? Or are they just taking advantage of me because I make them feel better about themselves?"

Be careful not to become the cup they pour all their misery into.

Don´t become a prisoner in somebody else´s life!

You are here to walk on your path, live your life, and be loved and accepted by yourself first. Each and every one of us is meant to have a life full of joy, love, and inspiring people.

People who prevent you from having that do not belong in your life, even if they are your blood. Blood doesn´t make you a family.

Connection on a soul level makes you a true family. Remember that!

Harm no other, and no harm shall come to you. Right?

Then stop harming yourself, complete the circle, and learn the lessons you need from these toxic people and situations. The only rules you should follow are the rules of your own heart. The right people will love you for who you really are, applaud your soul-based decisions, and never take advantage of you.

If you genuinely love and accept yourself, you will find a place in this world where others cherish you the same way!

Just let go of the expectations and go for it – your well-deserved freedom awaits you!

To wiser days and enlightened ways,

Anna💛
