I have spent my life putting everyone else first. I have let my thoughts be consumed with their thoughts, their feelings, their desires. I have rearranged my entire life around pleasing them.

I bought a truck recently. I love this truck. It is the first vehicle I have ever owned and have not wanted or wished for something different. Ironically, this truck has caused me several issues since I bought it. It has needed repairs three times in three months. I was told if it were not…
