The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.
Steven Furtick
The small resentments that have been quietly accumulating are not really about the people who triggered them. They are about the gap between what you thought you had agreed to and what you have been asked to carry instead. Each time you said yes when you meant maybe, each time you absorbed someone else's urgency as your own emergency, something got deposited in a place you were not watching. Now that small pile has weight, and the weight has a voice that asks why you keep ending up responsible for outcomes you did not choose. The year ahead asks you to stop treating this question as a character flaw and start treating it as information. The resentment is not the problem. The problem is that you have been trying to be helpful in rooms where no one asked for help.
