Do this, do that, get this, get that...does it ever stop.
I feel like I am being pulled in a million directions.
Why do I always feel like I can't win this race called life ?
There is always someone needing something and I am always the one they call.
It doesn't matter what if I have plans or what I might want to do.
Because once I finish taking care of everyone else, I have no time or energy for me.
Why can't I ever just say what is on my mind and not feel guilty.
I guess its just my job in life to pick up everyones pieces.

Its good and I hope it isnt me making you feel like that. If it is just say No Lauren. You shouldn't feel like you have to pick up everyone's pieces, most of them are adults and if they aren't then their parents should take care of it not you. I love you and I agree with aunt T. Don't let yourself feel guilty for saying no. I love you and want you to be happy screw everyone else.

Well done and intense! And NO, it's not your job to pick up everyone elses pieces. It is OK to say NO! It is ok, to say "hey do it your damn self" or "I don't want to" or "I don't have time" Even to your husband, family and best friend! It is ok. You've just been doing it so long that you think it's your job and it's a habit! Break the habit! It's ok! Excellent piece by the way! Love, T
JUST SAY NO!
