Just too fucking busy trying to make it -Nichole Carlson

Just too fucking busy trying to make it

I have regrets about my past relationship

I think we worked too hard during our time together,
We tried too hard in the relationship,

And we just didn’t spend time living and enjoying life. We had a whole greenbelt in our backyard that we never hiked. We lived in Austin and hardly went out. And we just missed time together.

And whatever about the relationship… but we were best friends.

And I feel like we missed a lot of it.

Just too fucking busy trying to make it and trying to support each other. And there’s nothing wrong with that, unless your missing life.

I remember having countless talks with him about this. How life was so important and so short. But he hadn’t been through some of the stuff I’ve been through. He had an experience the loss I had. And in the end, somehow everything became work.

Life has a way of bringing you back to what’s important.
Sometimes it’s a death like when my mom passed away.
Sometimes it’s your body fully giving out on you and leaving you lying on the living room floor unable to get up late on a Saturday night.
And sometimes it’s your ex buying a one-way ticket out of the country.

And in that moment, you need to listen. Because if you don’t, life… your soul… will keep sending you the message louder and louder.

And tonight I’m walking this greenbelt, thinking yeah I had my regrets but those regrets are only a reflection of the regret that’ll have with the bigger picture of my life I don’t remember to make living the most important thing.

 

We sacrifice so much for relationships, so much of ourselves. It was only after we broke up we went to 7 months of counseling where I actually saw had been happening in my relationship and how I had been missing my life.

 

Most of us avoid relationships because we self-sacrifice.
So we avoid friendships.
We avoid romance.
and even when we’re married, we feel like we’re “married and alone” because people pull apart for this very reason.

But there is a way to be in a relationship and not self-sacrifice. There is a way to be in a relationship where you are able to be completely yourself and totally accepting of the other person.

 

And there is a way to be in a relationship and not make it all about work… And to actually live your life.

 

PS. Your soul is crying out. Your soul demands that you answer.
You’re trying to hold it together in your relationship, it’s causing you to lose focus in your business And your eating is terrible. You feel like life is just coming at you and you just get to the point where you are done.
You want to finally start getting what you want,
You want to finally be happy,
You want to finally FLIP THE SWITCH in your relationship and your business to MAKE THAT SHIT WORK.
And you know it’s there… that switch… because you’ve flipped that switch before… but it’s not happening this time.
It’s time to walk away from the shit show and FLIP THE SWITCH.
