I am writing this not necessarily for others to read, but to remind myself to stay in control of what happens in my life. To show myself that self-assertion should not be something to avoid because if I do not stick up for myself no one else will. I need to also focus on spending more energy on pleasing myself than other people. I am the type of person that will bend over backwards and sideways to do things for other people when I would rather spend that time doing something else. And then feel bad for not doing whatever it was even though I did not want to do it in the first place because now someone is disappointed in me. I would also like to use this as way to expand on myself just in general. I have always been an open-minded individual and try to remain that way with everything that I do.
As I go through this year of my life, I know I will be faced with a lot of tough decisions, struggles from last year, and unfamiliar territories. However, I believe that I will guide my life in the appropriate direction it will need to go regardless of any possibility of backlash. I am very capable of doing a lot with very little, all while using my creativity. Until later...
