is this my villain era?

No, it's my thriving era.

I've spent decades as a people pleaser, and I'm so sick of my shit. I've intellectually decided to change, and I haven't been able to. I've spent years studying how to set boundaries, how to speak them gracefully, and it just hasn't gotten me anymore - and I finally understand why.

I've let myself be victimized, and I've tried to fix that relationship from the place of a victim begging to have permission to live for me.

No more.

I'm giving myself permission, and I'm stopping gicing myself expectations. my expectation is to enjoy life. The life I worked so hard to build for myself.

and that's it.

I've read so many things that read like the above before, but it's finally actually shifted in me, and it suddenly feels so bright and profound.

and I think that's what makes it different this time - I don't understand, I feel.

I'm no longer thinking it to death, aligning it to my goals, worrying about strategy, etc.

if it feels right to me, I trust myself enough to do that.

the end.
