Please

I've realized that I set out to please too many people.
For one reason or another through various avenues or another I find myslef in situations where I do what I think is best for the relationship between me and a given person.
It tends to involve guilt in what would happen if I deviate from what they would like to see come of me.

Someday I will realize that not only that this isn't best for me, but maybe I'll do something about it by doing what I think is best for me.
Because really, do I want my life to progress as somebody else sees it, or as I want to see it?
They may think they know what's best for me (or what's best for me to do for them) but I'm the one living my own life, dammit.
I have to stand up for myself.
