If Change Was Easy, I’d Start Here

avatar
Life isn’t fair and with this in mind it’s obvious that we all can’t have what we want. No one is perfect and that’s a fact, but the good thing is that you’ve got to learn to accept yourself for who you are because there’s obviously some things you can’t change about yourself. But for the things you can about yourself, it’s up to you to make the change for a better you.

If I was asked if I would want to change anything about myself, I’d say no at first but thinking deeper, I think there would obviously be something I would eventually pinpoint and want to change. This morning, I thought deep about what that I one thing I want to change about myself was. It was a long wait because I had to think deep, and then it finally hit me.

The one thing I’d want to change about myself is how emotional I am on most days which leads me to always take things to heart and also the act of not doing too much for people and focusing on myself rather. These two go hand in hand because recently, something happened to me which made me learn that people doing really appreciate what you do for them and at the end of the day, that’s just who they are.

This weekend, I got into a not so pleasant situation with someone close to me and the whole issue was that they needed something from me which I couldn’t give them. Actually, I didn’t even have it to give them because if I did have it, I’d obviously come through for them. But you know what happened? I was labeled as the person who didn’t care about them and couldn’t even do this for them.

Mind you, this was someone I always came through for them. I could even give them the last do everything I have just for them to be happy only for me to get this in such a situation. And guess what? I felt bad and cried. Thinking about it now, I really don’t know why I cried but it was probably because I was hurt by the fact that this person didn’t even appreciate all that I had done for them all this while. But that’s life for you.

So yes, I’d want to change how emotional I am and I’d always want to focus and do more for myself rather than for people who wouldn’t even appreciate it.

all images belong to me.

I can relate to what you said. I used to be that way, I am still to an extent but I can say I have grown more mature now and that's because I realized that even if you kill yourself for some people they still would not appreciate it.

So I choose people I do things for and when they do things to hurt me, I just tell myself that they are human and humans can do and undo.

Being emotional is not a bad thing, just channel the emotions to the right people, people that are worth it and would value and appreciate it 😌

The truth of the matter is that, you can never satisfy pple, no matter what you do, some pple will still don't appreciate you and say you've done nothing.. That's how life is. So you can't be everybody favorite, some will appreciate you and some we don't. So I'll say stop bordering yourself about things like this and don't see yourself as a bad person! With what you narrated you not doing bad atall

There are people in life who just want everything that can be given to them. When you've given so much to a person and then can't for one reason or another; the person who is asking may have come to the point that you've always given, so why not now? In other words, they expect it from you. Their expectation is really their problem, and if you can't give something, then don't worry about what they say.

I do understand, for I have been in your shoes and have reacted the same way. Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!

I totally agree with you. It’s their expectations.

Thanks for passing by.
