I didn’t

know that saying yes all the time would be so harmful for me.

Because later on the word no would be so much easier for me to say.

With no regret of not being able to help out.

I would resent that yes and the person behind it for I was doing too much all at once.

I was losing myself in the yes’s and I was letting down the people who really do matter.

I was no better than the yes I said so fast without thinking it through because  that yes was doing more harm than good.
