Sept 22 Daily Entry -- No

I am done. I am done making you all happy. I am done caring what you all think. I am done trying to get you all to like me.

From now on, I only do things I want to do. I do not worry about the quality of my work. I do my best, and it's good enough. I am no longer flattered by praise. I will not give you smiles or time or energy. You get what you get.

I am a warrior. This is a battle for my life. I will hold the lines.

I like to work. I am good at what I do, and I know it. I like putting on a show for the people. See how easily I cause you to think?

But I will give them nothing more than work. They will not penetrate the lines. They will not get to me. They cannot have me.

I am my own, and only my own.
