Some people will become disappointed when you stop being endlessly convenient for them.

Some people will become disappointed when you stop being endlessly convenient for them. They may call you selfish the first time you say no, or claim that you have changed when you no longer accept the same treatment. But another person’s disappointment does not automatically mean you are wrong. Sometimes it only means the old arrangement benefited one side. You can be kind and still choose yourself. Pleasing everyone is not peace when the price is repeatedly abandoning your own life.
