I Was the Go To Girl for Everyone
I don’t think people talk enough about how lonely it can feel at first when you stop people-pleasing.
You’ll lose some folks and not always the ones you expect.
But you’ll gain you again. Your voice. Your time. Your peace.
I used to overextend myself just to be “liked.” I thought if I was always there for others, they’d always be there for me. But it doesn’t work like that.
I learned that the people who truly care don’t need me to abandon myself for them.

I can relate to this so much! That fear of being left if you say no is real! But I’ve also realized if you don’t take care of yourself first, you won’t have anything left to offer people. It’s ok to be a little “selfish” if that’s how you wanna look at it. When you make the change to start taking care of yourself, many may see it as you being selfish… I see it as self-care.
