Why are you really doing this work?

Hi Reader “When do I get to stop working on myself and just live?” I keep hearing different versions of this. I thought I had already dealt with this. Why is it back? Surely I should be further along by now. How much more healing is there to do? When do I finally get there? And I smile when I hear or read it, not because I don’t understand the exhaustion behind the words, I absolutely do and know it, but because tucked inside those statements is a really interesting assumption. That somewhere...
