I don’t know who needs to hear this, but...

It is not your job to…

  • Fix them. 
  • Be their parent, or give them what their parents were supposed to and didn’t. 
  • Be their therapist
  • Take on their problems and feelings and responsibilities as your own.
  • Teach them how to be a functional adult. 
  • Clean up their messes (literally or figuratively). 
  • Save them.
  • Heal them.
  • Rescue them.
  • Tiptoe around their feelings and reactions. 
  • Tolerate their crappy behavior.
  • Enable them. 
  • Free them from an addiction of any kind. 
  • Be their manic pixie dream girl/guy. 
  • Help them get over their ex, their unrequited crush from high school, etc. 
  • Make them “grow up.”
  • Help them get their shit together. 
  • Fill some (real or imagined) void in their life. 
  • Bring them the happiness they need to find within themselves. 
  • Validate them.
  • Give their life a sense of meaning and purpose. 
  • Be their sole reason for getting out of bed in the morning. 
  • Live for them.
  • Make them happy at all costs. 
  • Change them. 
  • Improve them. 
  • Help them get over their “commitment-phobia.”
  • “Do the work” for them.
  • Prop up their fragile ego. 
  • Be their only source of emotional support. 

Because that’s not love. That’s codependency. And that never ends well.

I have this tumultuous relationship with codependency and detachment. On one hand, I seek complete solitude when I become overwhelmed by my environment and emotional nature. Then again, I become codependent in relationships because I can’t stand to be alone with troubling faults that cause me anxiety. It’s a vicious cycle that constantly repeats itself.

Am I not what you bargained for?

The white girl with green eyes, blonde hair.

so easy to pin down, all fragility, femininity,

existing to put you at ease.

I must not be, you so quickly tired of me,

denial and acceptance fighting in your eyes

that I just might not be

what you so quickly thought of me.

Impossible to understand

why green eyes

encompassed by

dark lashes

would choose anonymity.

For I am everything to nothing,

masculine, feminine, shallow,

and deep as the sea,

you cannot see past the reef to look into the depths

of my nonduality.
