Dear Universe

The People Pleaser

Dear universe,

My People pleasing is a problem.

I need to be able to say no more often,

Even if it makes people angry.

It’s not really my problem anymore.

I have every right to say no.

I shouldn’t feel bad about it.

I shouldn’t feel guilty either.

It’s not my fault that other people aren’t responsible.

Sincerely,

My Biggest Flaw
