Forgive Me for Changing
Prefer to hear it?
3 min readThis chapter can be read aloud to you — a quiet, unhurried voice, nothing added to the words themselves.
Forgive me for changing, but it was necessary. Self-care has a value money couldn't buy. Inner peace at the end of the night, and that relief in the first breath of the morning.
I hoped things wouldn't change as much as they did, but I had to find myself. Forgive me — I chose me. Negativity and bullshit are unacceptable now. Everything to me is a learning experience.
You can be around people and feel completely alone. Happiness comes from within. We have the bad habit of looking for it in other people. No. Find yourself. Be happy alone. Enjoy your own company, because at the end of the day, all you have is yourself.
I'm so happy to finally say I'm not afraid of being alone. My own company is the best company.
A reflection
What did you have to change that other people took personally?
