Do you let "others" determine...

things for you? Do you let others determine what your kids will learn, what you read, eat, how you should run your household, what career you will have, even where you will spend your day and when you will go somehwere? I mean someone besides your close immediate family of course. I do not make New Year's resolutions so I have a chance to start something I want to any time. For that matter, every moment is new, so why wait until a day some ancient people designated as a new beginning to try to make yourself who you think you want to be.

I made a decision today to make sure I speak up for myself more. If I do not speak up for myself how will my needs be met? I get bogged down by trying to be "nice" and eventually I almost (or do) burst into a complete fit bc I feel no one is being considerate of my feelings. How can you accuse someone of being inconsiderate of your feelings if they never knew what they were? So if you are straight forward and maybe a little sarcastic about it, is that considered snarky?
