I get frustrated at myself for being too nice or not standing up for myself and so make a point to be more assertive ... and after awhile find I'm being aggressive and kind of a douche and don't like who I am and make it a point to be more like what I started with. It goes on and on JUST trying to eek out a LITTLE of the best of both and be a better person.
They're opposite, but it's like you have to carve skin all the way around the orange to get fruit. Life will make you into every possibility slowly making you yourself.

It's just, we live in a world where the evil and manipulative are actually admired for being evil and manipulative. Then, there's the good people who get walked all over and I'm tired of it.

Go on and be like them then. Because that'll fix it! No, life isn't fair. That's the way it is. Everyone suffers, but you don't have to be a victim about it.

It's YOUR narrative. YOU'RE the one spinning it into what it is for you. It's up to YOU to rewrite it if you don't like it!
