-Lena Horne
I saw this quote as I was watching the Oscars this year, random place to find this quote that stuck with me but here it is. At first I didn't agree with it, but after some time and journaling and thinking...it's more true to me now than it was before. My perspective is shifting and I find truth in this quote. A load is just a load until it's breaking your back and you can't stand up. I'm learning (very slowly, that's for sure) that those you trust can help carry the load with you and they can even take parts of it for you and hold onto it for a little while. It's a very difficult thing that I am learning, after years of being "trained" one way, transformation doesn't happen over night. It may not be easy or fun or enjoyable, in fact, it's not really any of those things. But it does happen.
