When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I did't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

Ha ha ha. Seriously though, I think on some level we have to juggle our wants and needs with those around us; parents, partners, friends maybe? It's not easy to do what we want no matter how this affects others. My favourite therapist says it's okay to do things out of duty and obligation, as long as we make the decision consciously, sort of like a donation of our time and energy. Just sayin' :) Hugs.
