I will be me

This stems from my reminders to myself lately during this awkward, (mostly) inexplicable (hopefully) brief time in my life:

I will not carry the burden of your happiness.

I am not responsible.

I will not be able to please everyone.

I will not stop trying though.

I will not be liked by all those I meet.

I will still smile and not let it bring me down.

I will make mistakes and that's okay.

I'm a learning sponge.

I will not assume how you are feeling or what you are thinking.

I will ask more questions.

I will believe in myself and in my decisions.

I will not be driven by guilt or doubt.

I will stay positive.

I will look up.

I will be free.

I will be me.

I am reminded of a quote from over a decade ago... "no can ruin my day, but me!"
