A few years ago, I started to get a skin rash all over my upper body. At first I was convinced it was sugar intolerance (diabetes runs in my family), but as I cleaned up my diet, the spots got worse.
After doing all kinds of tests to rule out food allergies, I’ve now realized that the rash appears every time I say yes to something I don’t want to do.
Saying no sounds easy, but it is terrifying when you believe your sense of safety and belonging depends on not dissapointing those around you.
Today I decided that the person I can no longer dissapoint is myself.
I’m already feeling stronger.
