Pleasing, agreeing, and forcing a smile never brought me what I truly needed. The only thing that ever opened doors, created change, and gave me what I longed for was being real—being true to myself.

Being agreeable never gave me what I wanted.
Forcing a smile never gave me what I wanted.
People-pleasing never gave me what I wanted.
Shrinking myself, softening myself, silencing myself—
none of it ever gave me what I wanted.
The only thing that ever did—
was being true to myself.
