going down the rabbit hole

Me, when I realized I was going down the Rabbit Hole:

• Why do they treat me the way they do? (me blaming others)

• Why do I allow them to treat me this way? (me starting to look inward)

• Why don’t I think I am worthy of being treated the way I deserve to be treated? (me starting to understand my feelings)

• How long have I been feeling this way? (me starting to get to the root)

• What was going on in my life when I started feeling this way? (me looking deeper).

And so it went.

I am still here, reflecting and asking the questions. I’m not afraid of the answers anymore.

• Sometimes the answers bring pain.

• Sometimes the answers turn out to be not at all what I thought.

• Sometimes the answers cause me to reflect on my relationship with friends and family members.

• Always the answers help me take responsibility.

But the answers are setting me free and allowing me to live my best life in this present moment.

I keep asking the questions.
