Story
I’m a people-pleaser. Phew, there — i said it. Though i try more now to pave my own way, there was once a time when i followed the direction of those around me without much regard for how they made me feel. Years ago, i had a friend who constantly tore me down with the excuse of helping me to stand up for myself. I knew her reasoning was wrong, yet i did nothing to stop it. After years of working on myself, i realized that was not genuine friendship, not true support. I decided to walk away from that friendship. It was one of the hardest things i’ve done — step back from a friendship that i had been pouring my love into for years. But it was one of the most important decisions i’ve ever made.
