No one talks enough about how exhausting it is to continuously be the one who “gives grace”. In a lot of instances, you’re giving grace at the expense of putting someone else’s needs before your own.
A little communication goes such a long way, if you’re busy say it, if you’re upset express it, if you’re running late let people know, if you don’t want to do something be straightforward, if you’re unsure, ask. It’s so simple but so so so important.
