Shes been right all along.
Why am I saying yes to things, when really I want to say no?
And why have I so often persisted with activities when theyre not fun or even satisfying?

I want to choose who I spend time with personally and professionally.
Its my life, Cattrall went on to say.
Theres only so much time left.
I could have done with this advice earlier on.
But look, regrets arent always useful.
Or, to paraphrase Cattrall:Yolo.
But it has to be done.
And nonstop joy would, surely, destroy your dopamine receptors.
As a recovering people-pleaser, Im used to defaulting to agreeing to something just to keep the peace.
Or doing things because I think Ishouldbe doing them, rather than because I want to.
Or pushing through with friendships that arentreally working anymore, and maybe never did.
But thats the old me.
The me that wasnt like Kim Cattrall.
