So glad you dropped by! :)<br /><br />David- That's where I am, trying to understand why I feel others' happiness is more important than my own. Not easy. Not in a good place right now.

I've been there, done the therapy for that. I had to learn why is it that I think my happiness isn't as important as others' happiness. And while I now understand that I need to put myself first, I'm not willing to be a cold-hearted bastard to do so. There has to be some middle ground, but damn if I know what David Batistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447011239238933425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105870530641515642.post-79795703039945949552013-01-22T22:15:59.939-06:002013-01-22T22:15:59.939-06:00This may sound odd, but I feel compelled to share ...This may sound odd, but I feel compelled to share something that I don't share with many people. Have you ever heard of Codependents Anonymous? It was literally a godsend for me. And I am not a therapy or support group kind of person. And yet while I really needed it, it was there for me and the strength and rationality I got from it was priceless. Just a thought I felt like sharing.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105870530641515642.post-15581512498512866072013-01-22T12:21:58.322-06:002013-01-22T12:21:58.322-06:00You know what I say to this?

I too am someone that often will sacrifice myself in any number of ways to please others or make the road easier for someone else even if it makes mine more difficult. It's exhausting. <br />I wish for you to find strength to hold your line strong as you move forward and into change.

It is a constant battle and as days go by things seem to slip farther and farther away. Hang in there!

It's tricky, because we don't want to detach from the world (well, I often do want to). Taking chances usually involves getting hurt. That's what stinks. Stay on track with taking care of you first and foremost.
