Woke at 10:47 a.m. Then I went to the kitchen and washed the plates in the sink. I then put my clothes on to be washed (I'm running out of clean knickers) Lastly I made myself a cup of tea and went back to my room. I'm writing this after a quick shower.
11:58 am Spotify birthday mix on the laptop, I'm still celebrating. A cup of loose black tea leaf in front of me.
It is so refreshing to be me authentically and unapologetically.
Which brings me to today's topic.
Hi, my name is Esther Oluwatobi and I'm a recovering people pleaser. Man, it feels good to say that out loud. I was always the last on my list if that. I only this year realised I was living as a supporting character in my own life instead of the main one. If you have a friend who you hate who drains your energy every time you are in their presence (btw, why are they still your friend) Who calls you up after finding out you have a day off asking you to help him move out. And you say yes you might be a people pleaser. For me, it became more important to be perfect. I'd care too much what people thought of me. My everything was filtered by is it what others would like. Is it Christian but we'll come to that on another day). There will still be moments (I'm recovering remember) where I just give in. I think that's fine as long as those moments are few and far between. They will disappear from my life altogether.
All your dreams are possible, you just have to believe.
