Ok, so as I embark on this change of life (no not menopause, change in careers), I have been having some really insightful conversations with people. This far, we I have come to realize that my chosen profession of the last 15 years isn’t really where my passion lies. Who knew just talking out loud about the voices in my head thoughts I was having would turn out to be my passion and take me on a totally different life journey.
So anyway, with all of this talking I came out that I have a ‘hero’ complex. Now, before you start looking in the sky for me, let’s address this – I am not a hero, at least not in my eyes. But there are some people, who expect me look to me to fix things that ail them – whether it be monetary, emotional, physical or spiritual. In this sense, I don my cape, swoop in and save the day. Wow, I never looked at it like that but in retrospect, that’s exactly what happens.
Now, I am not trying to be a hero, but it is my personality to help, and I have been reading from the ‘helper’ script my entire life. There are some who would be devastated if I ever stopped helping. Oh well. Mama bird has got to let the baby bird fly on their own at some point. Life won’t stop cuz I’m not saving the day will it? I think it’s time we found out….
Stay tuned for next adventure of Captain Hysterical!!!!!
Yes I know, I’m not wearing a cape, but really, do I need one?
You are one my fav heroes honey!! You always take very good care of me. 🙂 You see I go through daily withdrawal if we don't check in with each other. I will try to stop being so co-dependent. LOL!!
HystericalMom- It looks like you are a hero to many. My re
I hear ya loud and clear. It's hard to be a people pleaser and still put yourself first. It wasn't until I turned 30 that I realized that putting myself first is not selfish, it's necessary. How can I take care of anyone else if I don't take care of me first?
