Traffic Jam, episode 9: just me...doing me

I used to be a people pleaser. I would worry about fitting in, I would wonder if people liked me, I would attempt to conform to what was expected of me, and I would try oh so hard to please the special people in my life. I would wait on others for validation and would be so upset when the people I bent over backwards for didn't reciprocate.

Slowly I began to realize that wasn't who I wanted to be.... where was the fun or comfort in being caught up in the non-ending cyclical game of expecting, wanting, and suffering?

Happiness isn't external... pleasure, love, purpose, and peace come from the energy within...

So in honor of me just doing me, this mix contains the most seemingly unrelated assortment of songs that I randomly encountered today... life is too short for conformity ; )
