Day 329
My whole life I have always been the type of person who tries to please everyone and a lot of the time it is at my own expense. I don't consider it a bad trait to want to see people happy but unfortunately not everyone feels the same.
This has been a big lesson for me to learn. I now know that it is absolutely impossible to make everyone happy and I am now okay with that. I now know that it is not my responsibility to keep the peace or make sure everyone feels happy. Happiness must come from within themselves and all I can do is make sure that I don't do anything negative or hurtful and the rest is out of my hands.
An even harder lesson for me has been that I don't have to accept any negativity in return. Supporting someone does not mean that I am an emotional punching bag.
I feel better in myself for finally working this out and I will be sure to do everything to make sure my girls don't fall into the same trap that I did. All of the positivity and support I have offered to others over the years I am going to make sure I offer it to myself first!
