Family Time
If you are one of the lucky ones to have a family that you love spending time with – I genuinely envy you.
⠀
I don’t have the same dynamic.
⠀
Unfortunately I have learned the hard way that family doesn’t always = everything.
⠀
When spending time with family becomes a consistent sacrifice of your emotional well-being I hope you find strength to politely decline the family functions.
⠀
Only dedicate your time to people and things that make you happy.
⠀
After all, most of our lives are spent doing things we don’t really want to do, your minimal personal time should not be spent performing yet another emotionally destructive chore.
⠀
Protect yourself and your mental state even if it means saying no to a family barbecue.
⠀
What about you? Do you like spending time with your family?
