“This trip is making me realize the importance of learning how to treat yourself without feeling guilty after

“An old conditioning of mine is taking care of other people’s needs while neglecting my own. Because I felt unworthy and unlovable, I kept changing who I was to be able to fit in and belong. I got so used to doing things to please others that I eventually lost my sense of self. I became bitter and resentful because I was doing things to gain approval and validation from others which is very exhausting. I don’t blame anyone for this though. I brought this upon myself.
