I remember being too nice.

But now, I remember how I felt played.

I’m getting back to being nice again.

But I am careful of who I am nice to.

I’ve become selective with my time.

I’m more aware of where my energy needs to go.

I remember loving hard.

But now, I know you can love and still let go.

I’ve come from a background where love is the ultimate compliment.

But I will no longer feel as if I didn’t accomplish sh*t.

I’ve learned love can come from many forms.

And it doesn’t mean everyone deserves it.

This also doesn’t mean to be hateful towards the ones who are hard to love.

I remember not giving myself that love.

But now, I make sure to do things I love, and create the love I want for myself and others.

I remember feeling lost.

Pleasing those around me, but not putting in the time to also please myself.

I will no longer put myself last.

I understand my empathetic tendencies.

But I also understand I can’t help everyone.

I remember feeling drained.

Exhausted from the environments around me.

But now, I understand what my feelings are telling me.

I remember not trusting myself.

But it was because I didn’t fully understand myself.

I will no longer allow people make me something I’m not.

I trust my intuition and love who I am and who I am becoming.

I remember some people saying, I miss the old you.

But now, I will no longer feed into their opinions of me.

I remember a lot of things, but will no longer allow it to control my life.
