So it’s been brought to my attention that I come across as someone who always needs things her way. I’m not even going to lie and say this isn’t true, as it kind of is. I mean, let’s be real though, who doesn’t like things to go their way? But quite honestly, I never realized this is how I came off to others. I just always thought that if I expected others to speak their minds, that I should do the same. I don’t hold back because I don’t expect others to, simply put. But I do see where the balance in that theory may be misplaced. I tend to be an “all or nothing” type of person and it’s probably not the right mindset to keep. Because essentially, I can never have it all.....which leaves me with nothing. Therefore, I have some new goals for myself. I am going to work on the following:

~ Not having such high expectations. High standards are good, but not if they aren’t realistic.

~ Holding back. Some things are just better left unsaid/done.

~ Saying something and then doing it. Words don’t mean shit until it’s backed by actions.

~ Thinking too hard. It only leads to unnecessary complications.

~ And finally, trusting others. They can’t always give you what you want; that doesn’t mean that they won’t be there for you though.
