SELFISH PAYS

Apologies for leaving you unattended for what feels like forever. I am back and I had stated in the last post that I'd be away taking care of myself, I did just that but the stupid mistake I made was thinking it was a once off endevour. I will tell you something, taking care of yourself is a 24hour job. So much can happen in a blink of an eye and you could find yourself heading down yet another path that does nothing to grow you or change you for the better. That's nothing to feel ashamed of. Life happens while you are busy making plans.

Now these plans often include and/or involve those closest to you. That's very normal. However, when your perfectly laid up plans crumble and leaving you feeling stupid, what you should have been aware of is that everyone is busy making their own plans as well. Just because theirs don't include you makes you no less important. You still are that amazing person and all you have to do is remind yourself that before they came into your life, you still knew how to breath. You still had a beating heart and this disappointment will pass. Bad news, nothing last forever.  Good news, nothing lasts forever.

That's just how it goes. Simply because someone is unwilling to give you what you deserve and show you your worth does NOT mean you have to settle for less yo nothing. I'll be straight with you: that is pathetic behaviour. You can not expect them to respect you while you willingly submit to being their option and not the priority. Disrespecting yourself by turning a blind eye to all the wrongs they subject you to WILL NEVER make them respect you. So sweetheart, hard as it is to waltz away, imagine all the chances and opportunities you are setting free by simply hanging onto a situation that has long stopped serving you.

It is never too late to love yourself enough to want what is good for you. If you want respect from the next person, you have to earn it by first respecting the only person who stuck by you from the very beginning. Look into the mirror. That's the only person who comes first. Be selfish boo. Do you.

Love from
