## Caption

I don’t think I’m alone in saying I didn’t even realize I was abandoning myself because it looked like being understanding, adaptable, considerate, or “keeping the peace.”

But constantly overriding yourself affects more than just your relationship with YOU.

It affects the kinds of relationships you build, the dynamics you tolerate, how emotionally drained you feel, and how disconnected you become from your own needs, feelings, and instincts.

Trust me… I know because I’ve been living it for the last 30 years and I’ll be damned if I do it for 30 more.

Realizing how much of my life I spent making sure everybody else was okay before I (or any one else) ever stopped to ask if I was okay was an extremely hard thing to sit with.

Because living your life FOR yourself isn’t selfish or inconsiderate. But completely losing yourself trying to make everybody else comfortable absolutely is.
