Often, we spend money and our thoughts shopping for gifts for others, but what is the gift you would like to gift yourself?

Yes you can achieve your dreams, too often people feel they can't achieve theirs but it is more achievable than not.

Having spent a terrifying number of years my everything to everyone except myself, I would like to gift myself the strength to be my own person

If we are talking physical gifts then, @MorsVicta - I would totally take a spa day massage or a couple of days on a beach somewhere far far away.

@optimisticcup1 it all starts with self love and being selfish with yourself people will take offence to it at first but don't be shaken, this is what you owe yourself

Id like to be able to keep myself from becoming obsessed with someone who decides they dont want me in their life

i have a depression and bipolar attacks which changes my personality and people cant handle what accidentally happens when I say and act out of control

even though I never actually hurt them

and explain and apologize over and over with deep regret

Hugs* I understand how bipolar changes the way you think and act, your emotions and your decisions. I am sorry some people wouldn't want you in their life Just know that plenty of us here at 7 cups would support you.
