Time for a confession: I’m too nice. The kind of guy who says ‘yes’ when every fiber screams ‘no.’ Dodging conflict, tip-toeing around touchy subjects, not planting my feet firmly. Why? Because the mere thought of being the ‘bad guy’ ties my stomach in knots. Feels like a sin, like I’m the villain in my own story.

So, to keep my conscience clean, I dodge, placate, overcompensate. End result? I’m an open book for exploitation, from my inner circle to the outermost fringes.

Maybe it’s guilt I’m shying away from. But it’s high time I buddy up with discomfort (my alter ego, if you will). Time to stand my ground, even if it means ruffling a few feathers. 2024, you’re my proving ground.
