It may just be two letters, but "no" can be a scary word to say. In which situations do you struggle most to express your limits and expectations with others? x
Love the little pocket phrases, especially 'I'm not available'...even when you're 'free' you're not mentally available and you don't have to come up with some big excuse to not feel guilty about it. And the vulnerability to allow others to be there for us, 🤯
Broken chains I remember the warden and the lock and the keys I remember the chains I’ll give you my time if you feed me I’ll give you my soul if you give me hope And I’ll forgo friends and family While you make merry with yours And I will not sleep And I will not laugh And I will not ask when and why For I know my place These chains I have broken I’m free now, but I remember I remember your hold And your rules and your ways and your authority And I remember how I bowed obediently But now I’m free The keys are mine and the chains broken Am I then to become a prisoner of my own freedom As this you once foretold I remember the warden and the lock and the keys So today I will sing and not be quiet So today I will dance and be silly I will laugh with friends Share tears of joy and pain with the ones I love And if one day I should forget If I forget the warden and the lock and the keys I pray I never forget my chains My freedom was born of these broken chains
