Most of my life I have been someone who wants everyone to be happy. This has been at my own expense. I’ve been in romantic relationships, friendships, work situations, etc where I have gained nothing and the others have gained all. I’m all for sacrifice and selflessness. I want to give to people. But there comes a time in everyone’s life when you need to do what is best for you. Maybe that means not being friends with certain people, not feeling like I’m obligated to be there friend because i always have, not beating myself up over a failed relationship. Nows that time, at my ripe age of 17. I will think about my life and what I need to do to ensure a positive, emotionally healthy, secure future. And for the first time ever…. THATS OK. Yeah me.
