And why?
Why do you care so much? Why do you allow yourself to get hurt? Why do you love that person who does not seem to know your feelings in the first place? Why do you even do that to yourself?
Often times, we degrade ourself believing that we love more, our feelings will be reciprocated. We believe that if we care more, we will be valued. That we we understand more, we will also be understood. And if we neglect ourselves for the sake of others, we were a great contribution to society.
Well, you know what? That's a fucked up mentality. I hate to break it to you but it is absolutely true.I've known so many good souls that got shattered because of too much kindness. I've seen too much beautiful people that got wasted. I've heard tons of stories about heartbreaks. I've witnessed too many dramas about failure and sadness. Not that I am a pessimist, I am just because realistic. As the song goes, ' Too Much Love Will Kill You". Sing that.
It's nice to help, sure. I won't argue with that. It's heavenly to love. Let's all agree to that. But then again, there's always an end to everything. There's a limit to what you can give. To what you can. To what you can share. Don't even neglect yourself by trying to go above and beyond for others. It's okay to be selfish. You owe that to yourself. It's okay to choose yourself. No one beside you has the utmost obligation to do so. Don't be shy in filling yourself in. In keeping your happiness a priority. In loving yourself before you love others. In treating yourself better than anybody else. It js not a sin. Not a fault. And surely not even a question to be raised.
Try to think of it. What have you do done for yourself today? Did you even award yourself for being tough? Did you even tell yourself a good job? Did you pat your back and thank yourself for not abandoning your sanity? I bet not. Because you only see others. Now grab that mirror and watch your reflection. That person infront of you my dear is your greatest companion. That is your bestfriend. That is your saviour. That is your warrior. If haven't realized it yet, that person has been through thick and thin with you. That person knows your better than anyone else. That person knows your struggles and pain. Don't even take that for granted. Be thankful.
Love yourself.
