it’s ok to take alone time when you feel like it. it’s ok to say no when you don’t want to do something.

if i don’t feel like answering a call, i’m not going to. if i don’t want to answer a text, i’m not going to. if i don’t want to do something, i’m not going to do it. if i want to say no, i’m going to say no.

this is a big deal for someone who used to be heavily codependent and care too much about people’s reactions. that’s not my responsibility. i put my energy first unless it is an emergency or i feel like it, not bc i’m obligated to or bc someone else might feel some type of way.
