I'm not Superman!!!

   There are some days when I wish I have a super power, something that set me apart from everyone else (besides having a great head of hair). Some people might say "Hey, I'd love to have x-ray vision" or "I want to be super strong!"  Not me.  Honestly, I would love the power to just not have emotions for one day.
     Anyone that knows me can say that I am definitely an emotional person.  What I mean by that is that I am extremely sensitive, not one of those robotic type people.  When I'm happy I'm HAPPY, and when I'm not... well let's just say it's not exactly a picnic. 
Normally that is perfectly fine as I've learned how to deal with my moodiness.   HOWEVER... there are days like today, when I have been on an emotional roller coaster and it just gets so exhausting.  And the roughest part is that I bring it on myself.  I try to be everything to everyone.  It's like I think that I can solve everyone else's problems, like it's my job in life to save everyone.  The reality of that is that in the process I end up neglecting myself.  I stop thinking about my own needs because I am so busy taking care of everyone else's.  And they expect it, because I have allowed the behavior to continue. 
    It's time to take control and stop giving the power to other people or situations.  There is no law saying I have to work 16 hours a day, or that I have to be at everyone's beck and call.  It's okay for me to sit back, read a good book and take a long hot bubble bath.  The trick is that all of this sounds good, but I HAVE to put it into practice...  So, that's what I'm going to do.  Because like that song says... "Even Heroes Have the Right to Bleed"
