Confidence is a must, Cockiness is a plus.

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I'm tired of people taking advantage of me. I was riding the train home today and was feeling upset, like I have for the past few weeks. I thought to myself why am I allowing myself to feel like this? Something has to change. So here is to a new perspective on life. This may sounds cocky but I really don't care. I'm so sick of putting in effort plus a shit ton more of effort into relationships, whether it be dating, friends, or whatever. Point of the story is I don't feel like im getting any effort put back into the relationships I'm in. Solution: Fuck them. Im tired, actually im exhausted. I don't sleep well because I worry. I worry about everything. I am putting myself first. No more. Im tired of people not being thankful. I drive them places or pick them up - no thank you's (hi I pay for my own gas, your welcome), I make things for people, I go out of my way to make them feel special, coffee dates when people are upset, I get up early or stay up late to help people. IM BEAT. So no more. If you want me in your life then you are going to have to work to keep me in it. Why, because I have put more than enough energy into every single relationship I want to keep. Do you know how many people I have talked to in the past couple weeks that have told me how stressed they were and then not bothered to ask how I was doing....? A fucking lot. Hi, I've been freaking out all week and really no one has bothered to help me figure it out. I asked myself why? And I figure it's probably cause I can stick a smile on my face and move on. So Im done, done done done done done. You want me put effort it, if not, Im to good for you anyways.

Im tired with stubborn people, swallow your pride and grow up. Yes, I'll admit I am stubborn, and specifically this week I have been dealing with 2 particularly stubborn individuals. And to both of you here is a little note - swallow your pride or you will have absolutely no one in your life because people will give up on you. One of you is always in a fight with someone because you don't know how to pick your battles and the other doesn't feel its necessary to put effort into anything relationship wise with other people. I would suggest both of you change your habits. Best of luck.
