Live for Your Own Self

We all have had people whom we have held near and dear to us. Who, we thought we can never live without and who wouldn't ever abandon us. We trusted them and did anything and everything we could for them. At this point you must be wondering why i am using word like 'had' for the people who, as I said, are near and dear to us. Well. The reason for using past tense is that we don't have them in our lives anymore. The people who we once considered a vital part of our existence, they have abandoned us. They have left us. They DO NOT FREAKING CARE! Every once in a while we come across people we genuinely like. We start to get close to them. We make time for them(even if they don't give us deserved attention), we talk to them, we do everything we can to make them happy and comfortable. In doing so we go to such extents that we lose our-self. Our dignity. Our Respect. We lose our own self. We no longer care for ourselves. We do not give us the attention we need. The love we owe to ourselves. But that's enough! We need to care for ourselves. We need to push the people out who don't treat us the way we deserve to be treated. Enough for being used by people. Enough for caring a little to much. Enough for losing our respect. Enough for not getting treated well enough. Enough is enough. Enough for living for others. Yeah we are told to help others. To care for them. And that is a good thing. Man being a social animal. We need people and company. But we need to understand this that we can not let people take over of ourselves. Once in a while, we need to stand up for ourselves. We need to care for us. We need to love ourselves. And build some self respect. And never lose it for anyone, no matter how special they are to us. I am not saying that do not love them or that do not make them feel special. Please do. They deserve it and it's essential for any healthy relationship, with friends, with your partner, with anyone. But for the love of God! It is important that you love and respect yourself the most. No one is ever gonna do that. And no one can love you like you can love yourself. And it's okay to be selfish for yourself. It's okay to prioritize yourself. To not give a F*@# about others. To live for yourself. To love yourself the most. To be your own best friend. Cause no matter how much they say they are gonna be there for you and they love you and they care for you, in the end it's gonna be you with yourself only when you need them the most. So. Be a little selfish and Be a little Heartless. and above all BE YOU.
