I was up half the night with thoughts of things I wanted to say. High horses I wanted to tumble. Feelings I wanted to hurt. Accusations I wanted to defend. Knives I wanted to twist. This morning I woke up hollow and exhausted.
All anyone is doing in life is looking out for themselves. You must do things for yourself. Regardless if they are actions that are perceived as selfish or selfless, you are still doing them for yourself. For the feelings that make it tolerable, worthwhile or even exciting to get up in the morning. Whatever works for you, you will do it. We help people. We love people. We build others up or we cut people loose. The end result is the beautiful work of art entitled Our Life. We are all the center of our own creation. I will never feel guilty for how I have chosen to paint my picture.
Being selfish to me means that you have to look out for yourself and you don't have to sacrifice.
