How do you make your life your own and not feel guilt over it?
“Stop saying “sure” to everything when really you mean “no.” If protecting your energy and refusing to entertain things that don’t nourish your soul makes you a “bitch”—then go ahead, be a bitch.”

“But remember that anyone who tells you you’re “too” anything is using the word because they are threatened by your capacity to grow, evolve, and express your emotions. They want you to stay down there, with them—emotionally and morally stunted. You are a mirror reflecting back to them the parts of themselves that they know they’re lacking.”

“No one has ever asked you to make a floor-to-ceiling-sized friendship collage for their birthday. Or ring them three times a day. No one will cry if you don’t invite them to dinner because you don’t have enough chairs. If you feel exhausted by people, it’s because you’re willingly playing the martyr to make them like you. It’s your problem, not theirs.”

“It may seem that life is difficult at times but it’s really as simple as breathing in and out,” she read. “Rip open hearts with your fury and tear down egos with your modesty. Be the person you wish you could be, not the person you feel you are doomed to be. Let yourself run away with your feelings. You were made so that someone could love you. Let them love you.”
