People-Pleasing Is How You Murder Your Dreams

 

Every "yes" you utter against your will is a small act of self-betrayal. 

You call it kindness; I call it the slow, methodical poison you feed your ambitions. You think you're keeping the peace, but you're actually funding their dreams with the currency of your own. Their priorities become your mission.

 Their emergencies become your life's work. And the grand vision you had for yourself? It bleeds out, one favor at a time, in the quiet corners of your compromised life.

This path doesn't end in quiet disappointment. It ends in a violent resentment—a corrosive anger aimed squarely at the person in the mirror. The only antidote to this self-loathing is the blatant, unapologetic "no." Let them hate you for it. 

Let them call you selfish. The price of their temporary comfort is nothing compared to the price of your soul. Your service belongs to your growth, your desires, your dreams. Anyone who demands it for their own agenda is not an ally; they are a parasite.

I am calling to the ones who were told "no," the ones forced to shelve their dreams, the ones overshadowed by peers, partners, and the title of "parent." 

I was told my life was over after 40. I gave the first half of my life away. I am taking the next half for myself.

 I command you to do the same. This is not a defensive game. This is an offensive. This is your life to conquer.
