I think a very big part of where I am now is due to my lack of faith and self- confidence. I either let people step all over me or I lash out when I start to feel overwhelmed and taken advantage of. If I am more sure of myself and have healthier boundaries, I would have been in a better place.
Like what Scidad said, some times you just need to flick that middle finger and not care so much. And I notice that the difference btw people who have it together and me is that these people don't hesitate to reclaim their space and they can flick their middle fingers so calmly and without that you just can't bear any ill feelings towards them.
This is such a vital skill to have in life!
You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
