People Pleaser

There was once a little girl who came to me and asked, "Can you do this for me?" and held up her bracelet and lifted her right arm. "Sure, here" and I put on the latch for her. "Thanks!" and off she ran.

What if I just said "No" when she requested for my help. What if I just turned her down and walked on? Surely she would be sad since there's no one else to put it on for her.

And I can die of guilt or feeling bad for not making up her day.

I can't please everyone, not even myself. I can't please you reading this. Nor can I please myself writing this down. I've tried so hard. And the harder I try, the worse it becomes.

Hopefully it'll be better soon.
