It's okay to say what hurts. It's okay to need time to process. It's okay to not be okay.

“I used to think I was just a generous person. If a friend needed something, I tried to help. If someone invited me somewhere, I wanted to show up properly. I have borrowed money just to look good at a friend's party. I bought gifts because I wanted people to be pleased with me. If someone needed to borrow money and I didn't really have it, I could still find a way to lend it. Looking back, some of it was kindness. Some of it wasn't. Somewhere along the way, I had confused being a good person with making other people happy with me.” twloha.com/blog/people-pleas…

I Kept Saying Yes Until I Couldn't Tell What I Wanted – TWLOHA

Your generosity should never come at the cost of your peace and health. People-pleasing is exhausting and you can unlearn it.

Mental health struggles don’t care what you look like. They don’t care what hobbies you participate in, or what your plans are, or what you do for work. Mental health struggles can show up for anyone, at any time. Don’t convince yourself you’re unworthy of help.

Those who default to people-pleasing to cope, to feel safe, and to be loved and accepted, so often quiet their own needs and desires for the sake of making others happy and comfortable. But eventually, that self sacrifice catches up and can bring up frustration, resentment, and a disconnection to ourselves. Unlearning people-pleasing takes time and compassion, it can mean losing friends while strengthening relationships with others (including our relationship with ourselves). We invite you to read “I Kept Saying Yes Until I Couldn't Tell What I Wanted” by Yahya Kasozi at twloha.com/blog/people-pleas….
I wish I could say I figured it all out and stopped people-pleasing. I haven't. I still catch myself wanting to make everyone happy. I still sometimes say yes too quickly and wonder afterward why I agreed to something I didn't really want to do. The difference now is that I notice it. I can pause. I can ask myself what I want before asking what everyone else wants.

We are all walking through life side by side. Reach out and let others know they aren't carrying it all alone.

“Healing isn’t about finding one solution and sticking to it forever—it’s about adapting, learning, and growing. I reach out. I ask for help. I refuse to let shame silence me. For years, I bottled up my emotions, mistaking anger for strength. Now, I see that anger was protecting me. But I no longer need to fight the world—I need to fight for myself.” twloha.com/blog/healing-isnt…

“It’s okay to fall. It’s okay to grieve what could have been. It’s okay to struggle. It’s okay to have days when simply existing feels like a victory. But it’s also okay to keep going—even if, some days, my only reason is sheer stubbornness. Because even spite is a form of survival.” twloha.com/blog/healing-isnt…

“I didn’t just accept the first therapist I found—I interviewed them, ensuring they were the right fit for my journey. I explored different treatments, some of which didn’t work, and some that changed my life. Therapy became a space where I could unravel my pain and, over time, learn how to live alongside it instead of being consumed by it.” twloha.com/blog/healing-isnt…

The existence of heavy days and hard moments does not mean moments of joy and love can not exist, too.

“One of the hardest but most necessary steps I took was leaving my hometown. Sometimes, healing requires distance—from the places that hurt you and from the people who make you feel small. I had to set boundaries with family members who weren’t safe for my mental health. That was painful. But I knew that to survive, I had to prioritize my well-being, even if it meant stepping away from people I once loved.” twloha.com/blog/healing-isnt…
