Note to Self:

"Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different."

- Stacey Charter

The above quote is such an important reminder, for me especially as I have been brought up to please others. I've lived almost my entire life like that and was always timid in standing up for myself.

I'm glad to say that I've changed tremendously after spending a year and a half(?) at 95%. I still catch myself trying to make people happy but at least I now know when and how to be selfish and do as I please instead.

Good stuff.
