"It's okay to change your yest to a no.
Yes's aren't permanent.
They're something we choose again and again, each and every day.
Something we have the right to recall and reconsider as soon as saying "yes" no longer feels conducive to our wellbeing and happiness.
It doesn't matter whether you said yes to a job, a date, a relationship, sex, a favour to a friend, a social endeavor or a vow of silence - you don't ever have to commit to something that forcesyou to compromise who you are and what feels right.
Especially, if it's something you agreed to under pressure, intimidation or force.
Changing your yes to a no might make people angry.
It might hurt their feelings, cause them to see you as a flake, and result in lost connections.
But, if saying "no"
means staying true to yourself, honouring your feelings and making self-care a priority, it's worth it.
You are worth it.
Don't let anyone else convince you otherwise."
