Uniquely Yours Craft Journal

Dear Fellow Journalers,

Part 5

You learn that you don’t know everything; it’s not your job to save the world and that you can’t teach a pig to sing.You learn to distinguish between  guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO. You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.

Then you learn about love.Romantic love and familiar love.How to love, how much to give in love,when to stop giving and when to walk away.You learn not to project your needs or your feelings onto a relationship. You learn that you will not be more beautiful, more intelligent, more lovable or important because of the man on your arm or the child that bears your name.
