I want to be able to say I have nothing that I would change about my past if I could but that just won't be honest. If I could, I would change how much of a People Pleaser I was. I seriously wasted quite a lot of time trying to make everyone happy. It was only later, I realized I can't make everyone happy and I might as well stop trying. Teenage is a tricky phase. You want to be accepted. You want to be valued. You want to be thought of (in a good way. I know I did). You want to belong. The same happened with me as well. I tried to be an excellent student to please my parents. I tried to be a good, supportive friend to my peers. I tried to be good in the eyes of my teachers. I tried to be cool and different for the guy I liked. I tried to be everything and everyone.. Except Me. I would often become sad if I made someone unhappy (even if I was right in my stand). I wasted countless hours trying to make up for making people around me, upset. Now, that I think of it, I realize I was insecure. I was trying to find outside what I could have found inside and l'd be happier for it. There were a number of times I would fret about
