What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

If guaranteed success, I would stand up for myself and my own peace of mind.

I feel that I have spent the majority of my life catering to the wishes of others that I have in a way lost myself. So many times I wanted to speak up and say no when someone else said yes. I have put my own needs second to others for far too long. Why? Mostly because I was seeking their attention and approval. If I catered to their wishes, they paid attention to me and showed me affection.

I am now at a place in my life where I am exhausted inside and out. I lack energy for so many things, even things I once enjoyed. By constantly putting myself last, I have become a shell of a person. I have given of myself to so many people for so long, I fear there isn’t much left anymore.

I dream of a time when I am no longer afraid. A place where I can tell those in my life who constantly take from me without ever giving that I am moving on.

I want to be happy again. I want to be at peace. 🌹
