My Celine Quite frankly, I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off of my shoulders What does "lifted off of my shoulders" mean? thank you Hi MyCeline, Just like you can figure out from the context, the author has been relieved from a burden he was carrying. When one has certain problems, it feels as if these problems are something heavy put on the shoulders to be carried around.
