You Are Not a Chair. Stop Being Convenient for Everyone
When you come home after a long day, what do you want? A soft chair to sink into, stretch your legs, and feel how it perfectly adapts to your body. Comfort, relaxation, no unnecessary effort.
When you come home after a long day, what do you want? A soft chair to sink into, stretch your legs, and feel how it perfectly adapts to your body. Comfort, relaxation, no unnecessary effort.
But here’s the thing: You are not a chair.
Since childhood, we’ve been taught to be convenient. "Don’t argue," "Be a good boy," "Don’t stand out." These phrases work like spells, shaping you into a pleasant-to-use person. Convenient for others, but not for yourself.
Being convenient means sacrificing your boundaries for other people’s comfort. It means agreeing to pointless conversations, wasting time on unnecessary meetings, and putting up with expectations that don’t suit you.
Yes, being convenient has its perks. People like those who don’t push them out of their comfort zones. But the more convenient you are for others, the more inconvenient life becomes for you. Your desires are "too much," your ambitions are "over the top," your "no" feels like a personal attack.
But here’s the truth: the more you adapt to everyone, the less people notice you. They get used to you always compromising, adjusting, stepping back. But is it worth it?
Freedom begins where convenience ends. When you say "no"—without apologizing. When you live by your own feelings, not by others’ expectations. When you realize: your value isn’t in being convenient, but in being yourself.
And those who only valued you for your convenience? They’ll just find another chair.
