Just say no.

·

I woke up today morning and there was a small message scrolling on the top bar of my android phone


>> just say no



I went into work and the first thing I know someone is guilt-tripping me about not helping out in some random project that I am not even committed to or care about or have time for.

I practiced my ignore-stare and unconsciously said no.

No. You cannot take me for granted. You cannot take my time for granted.

As I walked home, I could smell the spring flowers blooming, hear the geese squawking and woodpeckers pecking... and best of all, there was silence from usual guilt-ridden little whiny voice that derails me and let people just walk all over.

Thank you, S. Spring is here.
