Moving on — 2 months ago
I’ve sorted out who I want in my life now and who is important. I don’t feel under pressure anymore to be the person people want me to be. If people can’t handle the more confident and assertive person I’ve become, then that’s their problem. For far too many years, I’ve said and done what I think people want me to say and do. I’ve put certain people on pedestals and then been disappointed and hurt when I’ve felt they’ve let me down. I realise now that they didn’t deserve to put on a pedestal in the first place and I’ve spent years worrying about pleasing them. At the same time, I’m sure I’m not the person they thought I was and are equally disappointed in me.
I can live with that! What’s the point of having someone in your life that you don’t actually like?
