It's amazing how the realization that you've been letting other people treat you like shit can bring about an entirely fresh perspective.

I know, it's one of those things that should be blatantly obvious, but sometimes, we all do things we know aren't in our best interests. In my case, it was letting other people drag me down because I cared about them. Some recent events finally made me understand that I can still care about these people, but that it shouldn't be at the expense of my own self-respect. At some point, you just have to stop letting people walk all over you, and I think I lost sight of that.
