Let Them

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Humans— we are strange little creatures. We try to sometimes give advice— that often fails. We try to pretend like we are the exception to the rule— that often fails. We pressure others and ourselves— that often fails.

I have been reading Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and reflecting on the many moments in a day when I break this theory. We all do. I don’t know why it’s so hard to accept we only control one thing— our own life (and even that has its limits based on circumstances, at times).

Let them… and let me. It needs to be a bootcamp.
