I worry that it might be too much. My plate too small to receive all. I get more and more even when I feel a limit was reached. Pushing on even with all the weight. I feel like the plate might break. Sometimes I wish it would. *** I would rather eat it off the…

Please do not say what I think you will. Let my assumption of the worst be incorrect. Fears left un reinforced to collapse like a house of cards. My idea of a better future left intact. Destructive patterns abandoned to the past. Please protect my heart in the way only you can. *** Please do…
