This article is going to be short, and a rant. I'm sorry.

Throughout my life, I have been that person who would go out of my way to do anything for anyone. If someone needs a ride or advice, I would be the one they called because they know I wouldn't turn them down. I am a lot like my parents in the fact that I don't know how to say "no". The other day, as I was scrolling through my Twitter feed, one of the pages I follow (@excerptofmyself) tweeted this, and it got me thinking...

Of all the favors I have ever done for people, and all the people I have saved from their situations, they have done nothing for me. (This doesn't go for everyone though, I have received so much support form a lot of people in my life).

My daddy has always told me "you can't save 'em all" and now I am realizing that this is so accurate. If I had saved every puppy on the streets I would have way too many puppies. I need to learn to tell people that I can't do things because I shouldn't have to drop everything if they won't give anything in return.

As I am getting older, I am starting to realize the importance of saying no. You don't have to do what every one asks you to do and you should never feel bad when telling someone you can't do something for them.

Now, I am not saying that a few favors every once in a while is a bad thing. What I am saying is, you can read people yourself. If this person has asked you to do hundreds of things for them but you haven't received anything in return, not even a thank you, you should probably consider not helping them anymore.

With that all being said, let's say it all together now, "noooo"! End rant, thank you.
