on being a "good" woman

Picture
As a recovering people pleaser, this quote from Rachel Hollis’ book Girl, Stop Apologizing really resonated with me.⁠
⁠
It made me think: How is it possible to stop pleasing when we’ve been taught that our very WORTH is connected to other people’s happiness?⁠
⁠
You are a good child if your parents are happy.⁠
You are a good wife if your partner is happy.⁠
You are a good mother if your children are happy.⁠
You are a good worker if your boss is happy.⁠
⁠
Bonkers, right?⁠
⁠
And so so tiring.⁠
⁠
This moving target makes us shift and change our personalities, our schedules, our inner desires - ALL to make someone else happy… so that we can be worthy of love.⁠
⁠
They key to change this is to realize that when you choose YOU others might be mildly uncomfortable.⁠
⁠
But, making someone uncomfortable does NOT mean that we are bad: a bad mom, a bad wife, a bad daughter.⁠
⁠
And it certainly doesn’t mean that we don’t deserve love.⁠
⁠
It simply means that we matter too. That we shouldn’t always be the one compromising for other people’s comfort. It means that we have a right to choose our own comfort too. ⁠
