Tired of being the “good one”
<p>All my life, I’ve been obsessed with pleasing people.</p><p>Making sure everyone sees me as a good person.</p><p>Making sure everyone likes me.</p><p>But I forget that humans are insatiable.</p><p><br/></p><p>Most of the friendships I’ve had were bought with money, gifts, or other material things.</p><p>And the moment I couldn’t provide those things anymore, the friendships faded too.</p><p>Maybe I was broke.</p><p>Maybe I just didn’t have enough to give.</p><p>Either way, they left.</p><p>Now, I just want to stop.</p><p>I want real, genuine friends.</p><p>I want to make memories that don’t depend on what I can offer.</p><p>I want people who truly love me for me.</p><p>But it’s hard.</p><p>The moment someone mentions a small problem, I’m already thinking of how to fix it just to make sure they stay.</p><p>I’m tired.</p><p>And I’m trying to stop.</p><p>But I can’t.</p><p>It’s starting to affect me.</p><p>It’s ruining me slowly.</p><p>But what can I do other than smile?</p>
