It feels strange to say those words (Me, Myself & I) when all your life, you’ve always thought of others; you always put others first.

I’ve come to a point in my life where I’ve had enough of people’s shit. After a long day at work, I just want to relax my body and my mind. I want to take care of myself because nobody will.

Do you feel lonely because no one is there? Well, guess what, that’s the reality of life. Everyone is busy nowadays and that’s okay. No one will always be there for you because everyone is too busy worrying about their own business.

I needed to learn to count on myself and if you’re still relying on others, you should start learning to be on your own if you don’t want to end up disappointed at some point in time.

After a long day at work, you barely have the energy to do anything. You come home to recharge, not to give the last bit of your energy to people, especially to people who will completely drain you. Why would YOU do that to yourself?

You’re willing to give love, help, and energy to others, but not much to the most important person in your life. You.

Don’t feel bad for choosing yourself because at the end of the day, if you give everything to others, you’re the one who is left empty-handed. In the end, you lose.

You’re worth it. You deserve the world and you should believe that. Who cares what other people think? Who cares if they call you selfish. Embrace the fact that you’re choosing yourself and you’re growing as an individual. Go chase your dreams. Focus on your goals. Surround yourself with people who also want to be better. Celebrate you. Be grateful.
