I’ve forgotten how to be selfish, how to prioritize myself and ask for what I need with a sense of entitlement.
I wish I knew where this behavior came from, why I constantly put others’ comfort above my own.
I could say “little did I know,” but I did know it would lead to my downfall. I’ve eroded my own well-being, and I did this to myself.
How do I balance empathy and understanding for others with the desire to enjoy life’s pleasures for myself?
I’d rather offer myself or send my loved ones as support than let anyone face conflicting emotions alone.
But what about me? Must I distance myself and merely observe humanity and compassion from the fringes?
