I used to say yes to everyone because I thought that made me kind. My time, my energy, my attention — I gave it all. I was proud of how available I was

Then I noticed something. The people who always said yes to me weren't the ones who stayed. The ones who stayed sometimes said no. So now I'm trying that. Saying no when I'm tired. No without excuses. The world keeps spinning. And I have more energy for people I actually want to see 💛
