My version of unhappiness is so much different than it was a year ago or even six months ago. It's calmer and reasonable and much more easy to deal with and, best of all, ephemeral.
I can't feel badly about cutting cancerous friendships out of my life, even if many mutual friendships remain. I have to do what's best for ME.
My eating habits have changed drastically for the better, but it is unlikely that I will ever be a teeny weeny skinny mini. And that's okay.
I thrive when challenged.
Admitting that I have too much on my plate and re-prioritizing isn't quitting - it's reassessing.
My life runs far more smoothly when my apartment is clean.
I love trying new things.
I don't rule out any possibility until I absolutely, positively must. And even then, I really don't.
Quality, not quantity. Repeat.
you have it!!
ReplyDeleteYou have to do what is right for you and what feels good for you.

ReplyDeleteI have had to do this recently as well. At the end of the day, it really is about putting you first. If the friendship is a detriment to you, it is absolutely not worth your time and energy.
Great post, as usual.
ReplyDeleteWish that I had learned those lessons when I was your age. Congrats, that is taking a giant step!!
ReplyDeleteI loved this post! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about the clean apartment, more organized life bit. Whenever my apartment is clean, I feel so much more relaxed and can think better.
