Being open to trying new things helps me be more independent❤️
Boundaries are a must they are centered around self care serve us well. I am no longer a people pleaser I do things that give me joy is my guide. It is ok to say no!
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 !! ♥️♥️♥️💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍
Happy 4th July everyone in the US.
Being independent and free but not hurt others' feelings? It's harder than it seems.
@LostTurtle2. I’m not sure that I understand how being more independent would be hurtful. Do you mean trying to be more independent in a “codependent “ relationship for example?
@adventurousBranch3786
@LostTurtle2
I think Turtle is saying in one incidence, there are those who depend on us to need them. And how Independence can be seen as a negative. Just a thought from a perspective.
@Barltik2065 Thanks I think I get it and have experienced it as well.
@adventurousBranch3786
Sorry, I didn't mean to highjack the thread. I mean in the real life we're never free and independent and other people are dependent on us too. Just like nations. USA is dependent on foreign oil and overseas manufacturing. Sorry again
@LostTurtle2. No apology needed. You didn’t hijack the thread at all❤️. Thanks for the explanation. I understand your point better now.
@LostTurtle2 @adventurousBranch3786
It is all based on perspective. :)
@adventurousBranch3786
Happy Independence Day!
My take on the prompt,
Identify our potential and utilise all our strengths to the fullest.
@trueconfidant123 I think that those are really good ideas.
@adventurousBranch3786
Thank you. 😃♥️
