Thanks for reading David! I’m glad that you enjoyed my writing and I’m happy that you highlighted that line because it was a very important realization for me. I’ve come to realize that I try to please others in order to have them think positively of me. I realized that I was scared to be disliked. I wanted to cater to everyone’s feelings and make sure that I could portray myself as likable, and in the process of trying to manage everyone else’s happiness and comfort, I neglected my own. Now, I’m trying to figure out what exactly I want to do and be willing to be a little more selfish at times.
