my partner teaching me to stop reading people's subtext and to operate like there is no problem unless a person tells you otherwise truly freed me from the mental prison of trying to guess/interpret/micro-manage/process people's emotions for them. that is no longer my ministry.

being a people pleaser that is goaded by passive aggressive behavior into enabling folks to not have to communicate for themselves is no longer my ministry.

torturing myself racking my brain to figure out if i did something wrong and if someone is upset with me is no longer my ministry.

i have to remind myself frequently.
