She never wanted to hurt anyone's feelings. But in the end, she hurt herself.
The story revolves around a character who grapples with her desire to be considerate and kind, often putting others’ feelings above her own. Despite her good intentions, her efforts to avoid causing conflict ultimately lead to her own emotional pain. This inner struggle showcases the complexities of trying to please everyone while neglecting one’s own wellbeing.
In "Beach House for Rent" by Mary Alice Monroe, the theme emphasizes the importance of self-care and the consequences of sacrificing one's happiness for the sake of others. The character’s journey highlights that sometimes, in the pursuit of being accommodating, we can inadvertently cause more harm to ourselves than to those we wish to protect.
