Once, every so often, life throws something at you that makes you open your eyes. I have recently realized that for the majority of my life I have lived my life trying to make everyone happy and not myself. Because of this I generally end up hurting myself and those who are closest to me. Because I have done this, I may have lost a very important person. Im done with that. No more will I sacrifice myself for the feelings of others. I may hurt people along the way, but my new mentality is "better me than them". Not that I will do this on purpose, but happiness is paramount. Im hoping that I can rectify the damage that has been done, regardless these changes will be made. I deserve to be happy and now is the time.
