I Yam what I Yam

I used to be a people pleaser. I used to do whatever people asked of me (except for the people who I should have been doing stuff for). I needed to be accepted. I wanted people to like me. Now I have realized that whether or not people like me or not isn't up to me. I have no say in how people perceive me. All I can do is be myself and do what I think is right. Now I can say no. and I know that if I don't want to do something I don't have to. It is very liberating to say no sometimes. It is nice to be able to stand my ground and not compromise myself. 'Nite Y'all.
