It’s okay to take sometime for yourself. Sometimes we give others too much of ourselves to the point that we lose sight of your own goals along with your sense of self. Its not selfish to give a fuck about your own well being and it’s not selfish to want to stop giving in order to save something for yourself. Nigga i’m me. Why in the fuck would I not want to prioritize my own well being from time to time.
At the bare minimum if any one is going to always care for me it should be me. On the entire planet I should care for me because even if others do they can’t force me to do the work I need to in order to fix myself. I have to be the catalyst of that and make strides to do so of my own accord. Some people fall into that pitfalls of wanting to help and support everyone but whether its following behind a spouse or giving too much of your personal time to your family and friends, you lose who you are and may be hard pressed to figure that shit out again.
I don’t want to be with a spouse and have nothing to show no matter the outcome and be looked at as just that. I don’t want to give to all my friends and realize that they have failed to reciprocate at all in any way when it’s all said and done with them gaining while I gained nothing. Relationships are transactional and at times are not worth the price of admission. It’s important to focus on your mental and physical health. It’s important to put energy into your own endeavors and reap the rewards. It’s okay to spend time away and come back energized. If they don’t understand that then fuck ‘em. They probably didn’t really care any fucking way.
