But there is nothing wrong with doing things for me, I deserve a little more self attention than I have been giving myself. Maybe I'm confusing self love for self centered, but either way, the point is pretty much the same. I don't really love myself, and as a result, my self, suffers. A lot.
So, all that being said, I've embarked on a little self loving mission. I'm spending a little bit more time everyday doing things that make me happy and that make me feel good. I'm going out of my way to help me, and I'm trying to spend less energy on explaining myself. More and more I answer the question "why?" with "because I want to..." and less with some form of explanation that the questioner will like. By default, I find myself being more honest and more comfortable with that honesty. I'm not saying that I've stopped helping the little old ladies across the street, or that I don't say yes when someone asks a favor. I'm a saying that I am making time for me and doing things for me which are things I never really have done before, much less been happy about them. I am not selfish for wanting better that what I have right now.
