I've been a people pleaser my whole life.
I like harmony and I'm not at ease with the thought of someone being upset at me.
I'm currently learning about what it means to be bold,
but doing so with respect and gentleness and out of love.
Learning that it's okay not to please everyone.
That will only lead to distress in my own life.
Which I kind of already have because I worry about pleasing others.
It doesn't have to be about me not meeting the expectations that others have for me
(or the imaginary ones they don't have for me).
It's about loving people and being honest and real.
Then maybe others will learn, too.
