The Strength of Saying No
Choosing yourself is the First Step to True Happiness
Since I started rejecting many things in my life,
My life has become lighter. I don't have to force myself, I don't have to endure it,
I don't have to care so much that I forget myself anymore.
Some things that we used to think we had to accept to be good,
In the end, it just breaks our hearts over and over again.
Daring to reject is not cruel.
But it is a choice to take care of ourselves in the long run.
We were not born to please everyone.
But we should live our lives to be happy.
Rather than sitting and carrying everything by ourselves.
People who truly love us will not scold us.
If we choose to say "enough" to some things, some people.
Life doesn't get better because there are more people who understand us.
But it gets better because we understand ourselves more.
Even if no one accepts what we reject,
as long as we respect our own decisions,
That's enough. Happiness is not a coincidence.
It always starts from daring to say "no" to things that are not right first. 🙂

"Daring to reject is not cruel- Because it is a choice to take care of ourselves in the long run"- Well, said, Rohitha! I spent a long time being a people pleaser, and when I stopped, a whole new world opened up.
