#13 Life is hard, and it's hard to be good sometimes. It takes a lot of effort, especially if you're a people pleaser. As someone who was formerly a people pleaser, it was hard on me, but I learned that ultimately you're harming yourself and the people around you be doing so. Over time you learn to stand up for yourself, and still be a good person.
