<s>[INST] Sometimes I wish I live my life where I am in control, making decisions that are best for me and what makes me happy. It's sad that sometimes that means drifting away from certain people or friends.

It's almost like I am living someone's life and I am just along for the ride. I want to take the wheel and steer the direction of my life. I feel like I am losing my identity.

I need that sense of ownership, freedom, and balance. That's what being happy means to me.

Honestly, a part of me is scaring about letting go because it's comfortable and familiar. It's like I'm trading in this predictable routine for uncertainty.

That being said I don't believe that staying in a comfort zone all your life is truly living. Taking risks and stepping into uncertainty can be challenging at first, but it's ultimately how we grow.

I want to learn how to prioritize my own needs and make conscious decisions that serve my well-being.

What are some suggestions you might make?[/INST]
