"This Stone Isn't Mine"

"Hey Girl, What Are You Carrying?"

Have you been carrying stones? Are they heavy?

Let me ask you…

Do you want to keep lugging around that weight that was never meant to be yours?

Some stones don’t belong to you.

Some were handed to you in the name of love.

Others were disguised as “your responsibility” or “your fault.”

But it’s time to recognize what doesn’t serve you anymore — and start letting go.

Today, take a deep breath. Drop the stones. Throw them away. Or hand them back. But don’t carry them anymore.

Here’s how you start: Take a few quiet moments and reflect on this question:

What am I carrying in my relationships that no longer serves me?

Make your list. Be honest. Be raw.

Lastly,

Here are some examples to get you going:

Unclear boundaries — Feeling like you can never say no without guilt.

Responsibility for someone else’s emotions — Walking on eggshells so they won’t explode.

Fear of being alone — Staying because “what if no one else comes?”

Unreciprocated effort — Always reaching out, always fixing, always bending.

Silencing your voice — Keeping quiet to keep the peace.

Performing for love — Believing you must earn someone’s care.

Carrying their shame or trauma — As if it’s your job to heal them.

Dimming your light — Because they felt threatened by your shine.

These are stones. And they are not yours to carry!

You don’t have to do it alone; with guided help you are allowed to walk lighter. You are allowed to be free. Take five minutes. Write down everything you're done carrying in a relationship — romantic, platonic, family. Anything that causes tension, inner crisis, or robs your peace.

Then say it out loud: “This stone doesn’t belong to me anymore.” And leave it behind!
