It is NEVER your responsibility to:

• Give what U really dont want to give
• Sacrifice your integrity to anyone
• do more than U have time to do
• drain yourself for others
• listen to unwise advice
• remain in an unfair relationship
• conform to unreasonable demands
• be 100% perfect
• follow the crowd
• put up with unpleasant situations or PEOPLE
• please those same unpleasant people
• bear the burden of others inappropriate behaviors
• do something you really cannot do
• love unloveable people
• feel guilt about your inner desires
• submit to overbearing conditions
• apologize for being yourself
• meekly let life pass U by
• be anyone but exactly who U are!

*** I remember writing this.... It was my freshman yr of undergraduate school. I was living in the dorms at University of Wisconsin (go badgers ! ). I posted this above the little desk provided in those TINY rooms.

I was sooo much wiser then! Too bad I didnt post this in every domicile since...I may have avoided much heartache & frustration thru the years. The ones in RED are the those which I have mistakenly done.
