This year differed from every other
year. I don’t what it was about 25 but something just clicked within me. I
didn’t want to have to please anyone. I know how insensitive that seems like,
but if you know me I’m a people pleaser and always have been. I’ve always
thought that, that was the way to go. Shortly did I realize that being a
people pleaser made me so unhappy. I
wasn’t happy with how I moved all my cards around to accommodate how people
were feeling. What the hell is that! Why was I doing that? So I stopped.
I stopped focusing on what was going
to make others happy and started focusing on what made me happy. This year
alone I’ve clocked in so many hours at work and regretted the days that I
wasn’t able to spend with my babes at home. The latter made me realize that
life must go on, but I should find a way in which I AM happy with
what I’m doing. I cut the bullshit and clutter in my life. If it didn’t make me
happy, I cut it. It was refreshing to cut out all of the things in my life that
I honestly didn’t need.
Now on my 26th year, I’m
happy with slowing doing a little and taking time for myself. Now, I’m
not going off and doing anything crazy but I do like to savor my Sunday’s with
my family. Sunday’s are becoming the days in which we bond and stay in our PJ’s
all day together. Who can beat that? I find myself now laughing, smiling and
waking up every morning loving the life I live more than I ever have. This is
what true happiness feels like and it’s amazing. I’m thrilled to see what 26
has for me. 25 has been so good to me.
Thank you for all the birthday
wishes.
