It is absolutely impossible to please everyone. Try as I might to make things work, there will always be at least one person unhappy with my actions. More often than not, I am the unhappy one, displeased with something I have said or done without thinking. I absolutely hate hurting others. It hurts me to see that I have caused pain or unhappiness for another. Today I realized that I need to overcome this aversion in life it I am ever to move forward in life and seek for my own ultimate happiness.
There is another realization I have come to in the past few days, but it is more of a life lesson. In my life, there are several things that I have wanted with desperation. These things never seem to make their way to me when I want them the most. Rather, it's like watching a pot of water boil; if you're watching it, it won't boil! As soon as the desire ebbs to a back burner thought instead of a full blown obsession, *poof* what pops up but my desire. Isn't that just great. So given the opportunity, these things no longer have the previous pull for me.
Which brings me back to my original point of not being able to please everyone around me. If I go with a particular given opportunity, I will be unhappy. If I go with my gut, someone else will be hurt. So along with this stress of trying to be a people-pleaser, I am running on five hours of sleep and today was one of those "I just should have gone back to bed" days. Tell me I'm someone you want to hang out with right now... Geez, I don't even want to hang out with myself right now. It's the perfect time to escape reality by going to bed... I'm such a lazy butt.
