When I was younger, I found it hard to say no. It was so hard for me because I wanted to make all of you happy and I placed your happiness above my own. I did whatever you said and wanted. If anything was happening at church, I was the first to sign up because I wanted to make you happy. I played sports and injured myself trying to make you proud. I dealt with the countless yelling about "practice makes perfect" and me getting out of bed bright and early every morning to practice hitting a softball when I'd much rather be cuddled in bed with a book.
