The Other Foot
Self-portrait July 2024
An unfortunate side effect of being a people pleaser (one of many), is that I tend to let others walk all over me. And I wouldn’t even say this is done with malicious intent. In fact, it’s like I can’t help but to throw myself in their path.
I would now consider myself more of a “recovering people pleaser” and one side effect I have yet to kick is the constant need to undermine myself and my accomplishments. I say “it’s no big deal”, wait for the other foot to drop, or for Ashton Kutcher to pop out and tell me I’ve been punk’d.
And ultimately I have decided that if other people are no longer allowed to walk over me, I shouldn’t be allowed to either.
