There a lot of things in life that I'm not, but there's a lot that I am too. I have tried so hard to keep people happy and to be liked that I feel far away from myself.
I've been relaxing, I've been realizing that all my people pleasing hasn't brought me any more friends then I had before, so I am trying less and doing more.
In a surprising twist, since I decided I don't care if some people don't want to be my friend, people have been talking to me and inviting me places more. Since I stopped trying to plan things every weekend I've seen my weeks get busier. Sure, I may not be out partying on a Friday and Saturday, but I shopped with someone, had coffee with another friend, and chatted with others.
I guess the relaxed and real me is more fun then the me who is worried I'm offending someone or that I'm annoying them, is easier to be, makes me happier, and draws more people to me.
Every day I'm learning and growing my wings.
