💕 Tianda’s journal entry from 7-30-2022💕
Before you read this, I must say that, as of February 2025, while I am still working on saying no to those close to me, I have learned to pick and choose my yeses while also learning to say no. I can honestly say that I am no longer a yes person. I'm so glad I've learnt to set boundaries and put myself and my peace and happiness first.
Journal entry
In order to have a happy life, I have to do some cutting of people, things, and places that don’t serve me. My problem is I am too nice and always a yes person. But on the inside I am angry because I pour from a half-empty cup, and I don't get what I pour out poured back into me from the people I say yes to. If I am always nice all the time, it’s going to eventually kill me because it's draining me. I am too nice and don’t want to make others mad, so I say yes to everybody, and then I become branded as a person, and then more people come to me because everyone knows I'll say yes. I can't really be mad because I do it to myself; Tianda, you don’t owe anyone anything except God, yourself, and your children. You have set some boundaries, and if your no’s rub people wrong, oh well.
