Ode to One’s Self

Life is too short to be too nice and to try and please everyone. There is not much time left in my life to be with people who annoy me, who want nothing to do with me, who bring out the worst in me, or don’t appreciate me or see my true value. Life is too short so why waste it by hanging on to energy drainers, empty promises and people who just won’t change.

Everyday is a gift and it should really be spent working hard on my dreams, taking control of my life, being with people I love and care about the most, and being exactly where I want and who I want to be.

I may not be the perfect daughter, sister, friend, or girlfriend. But I know that as long as I have my priorities straight, I have a good heart, and I stay true to myself, then I don’t need to apologize for who I am.
