At the same time, though, it is critical to remember that what makes you happy should never be a topic that leads to you feeling ashamed, put down, or disregarded. Those who truly love you will hear you, and they will help you along your journey– not fight you on your path.
With all of this being said, it may sound like I am telling you to be downright selfish– taking no one else’s concerns or needs into account. But, I cannot underscore more how far from the truth that is.
By staying true to yourself, you are simply refusing to be a doormat. Of course, you should continue showing respect, care, and empathy to those around you. At the same time, though, you have a right to make decisions for yourself; have needs, goals, and dreams that you feel empowered to fulfill.
So, if you feel like you have too much on your plate, like your mental health is suffering, or if you simply need change to reinvigorate your life, stop feeling guilty. And if you do not have a support system that makes you feel empowered and worthy of making yourself happy, quit feeling guilty for “disappointing” them.
You are not a disappointment, and sometimes, you just have to be your own biggest cheerleader.
