I came across a quote that said..❤️ My life really did get better when I understood the difference between being nice and being good. Being "nice" had me drained, used, and stressed because I kept trying to please everyone. Now I choose something healthier. I choose to be a good person with clear boundaries. I still care, I still treat people well, but I don't ignore my own needs anymore. Kindness means nothing if it destroys you first, and respecting myself has become a big part of how I love others too..❤️
