Where does this feeling of wanting to fix the world come from ??

(as I ask myself along with you)

Maybe if a person had a parent or parents that expected their children to fulfill

their emotional needs as child would grow up into adulthood feeling so responsible for so much maybe???

And then for me I can see on the horizon something mum said we are not our stories

This "time" of year brings out so much yearning and remembering.

Strength to see the beyond and be love is

Across the years I have heard people express the same enlightenment that you are expressing - suddenly understanding that their life's role is not to fix everything for everyone.  I am so glad for you.  I know  will give you peace and allow you to love deeply and fully without being completely drained. - much love to you. - Gaining Strength
