This totally resonated with me and I've been journalling on this very subject today! As a reforming people pleaser, I can be quite defensive about my life/decisions as I heal, but I know that's because I'm only just really beginning to assert myself. I'm sure (as I gain confidence in speaking up for myself) I'll find a balance in standing in my truth whilst allowing differences within others. I've often felt didn't belong in the past, rather than stand fast in what I believe in, but I'm gaining clarity and learning to be exactly who I am regardless of what anyone else thinks...go me!
Love all of this response!! I think everything eventually balancing out is bound to happen, but how you feel now is also valid. It’s a powerful thing to finally stand where your feet are and not where you think everyone wants you to be

It's an ongoing process, but I'm sticking with it!
Good read!
