Until about a few years ago, I used to be a huge people pleaser, and that meant having to put up with a lot of unsolicited advice, having to spend time with people whose company I despised, and having to gauge my life from many different perspectives. I used to read about how it is detrimental to your health, but I never thought much of it simply because I never realised that I was being a people pleaser. One day it struck to me, "ultimately, I am my only company, I have to spend each and every moment of my life with myself, until death". Once this realisation hit, life has been so much more fun, and you feel like a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders.

This brings back a vision of my Grandmother and Grandfathers shared bedroom closet. It ways maybe 5 feet wide. Sparse in todays world. My closets, yes, closets are huge in comparison and of course I wear the same clothes every week. Please don’t judge me! Love, Mom ❤️
