Was there a chance in your life where you've forgotten, you've let go of the real you just for people to stick round, just for you to have someone by your side, simply just to please other people?
What's the feeling? Can you still feel it?
Hmm...
Let's normalize not pleasing other people. Let's normalize putting ourselves first before looking on how we'll be looked at. Never be afraid of growing, of getting out of your comfort zone even if that means that you'll no longer be part of someone elses' life.
Choose to be better. You know, you can be better than your best.
Choose to let go of the things that's holding you from achieving whatever you want to achieve.
That's you. Never let people rule over you; your wants, opinions, preferences.
Allow yourself to be respected always and with that, you should be the first person to respect yourself.
