You Were Never Supposed to Carry All This This Sunday at Journey’s Crossing, we’re continuing How Not To Ruin Your Life with a message for anyone who’s become the unofficial fixer, rescuer, planner, therapist, or emotional support human for everyone around them. You know the feeling: answering texts like a crisis hotline, carrying stress that isn’t even yours, and pretending you’re “good” while surviving on caffeine and denial. Somewhere along the way, many of us started carrying things we were never meant to hold. We wear burnout like it’s normal. We joke about being overwhelmed while secretly wondering why life feels so heavy all the time. Maybe the exhaustion isn’t just your schedule. Maybe it’s the pressure of feeling like everything depends on you. Your family. Your future. Other people’s reactions. Other people’s problems. This week’s message is honest, funny, painfully relatable, and deeply practical. We’re talking about why so many people confuse caring with carrying, why being needed can become addictive, and why some of us feel guilty the moment we stop “holding it all together.” You’ll laugh, probably feel called out once or twice, and maybe discover there’s a better way to live. Join us Sunday at 9:15 or 11:15 in person or online for How Not To Ruin Your Life. Bring a friend who’s one unanswered text away from moving to a cabin in the woods. This week might help you finally put down some weight you were never supposed to carry in the first place.
