For a while I've tried to be a people pleaser. I wanted everyone to like me and think of me as the nicest person they ever met.
I want people to think of me as the person who puts others first but, I've found that to be difficult because many times I have to put Kristin first and I haven't.
I've always been worried about what people would think about me when I die. Will they say I'm nice or a bitch? Will say that I'm going to heaven or hell? Will they wish me be back or be glad that I'm gone? I know these are strange questions but they run through everyone's head at least once.
However, something else that runs through my mind is that someday I can forget about what everyone else thinks and just be me.
Well that day has sort of come for me. I am finding it easier to take control of my life and forget about trying to please everyone else. The fact of the matter is that I just can't make everyone happy and trying to do so will make me insane.
I want to live a long, healthy life and I won't be able to do that worrying about others. It's time to take of Kristin and it's time for you to take care of you. :))

I think about this sometimes too. I'm so into self-improvement books, and it's almost relentless how often that question pops up. "what do you want to be remembered for?" "What do you envision people saying at your funeral?" It's almost annoying. It says a lot that you even think about it and not say "fuck them all." It really does because that is definitely the easy road. I've realized that the more you try to please, the unhappier you become with yourself in the long run because you have learned to also compromise yourself in some shape way or form.
So, bravo Kristin =) Be yourself, and the people who matter, will respect you for it.
