Sometimes people tend to make everyone pleased all the time yet neglect themselves. There’s nothing wrong with making other people happy, I couldn’t agree more that life will be more meaningful when we can help or give happiness to others. But we need to underline the sentence of “neglect themselves”. I came with the idea that life is all yours and what’s the meaning of life if you keep making yourself the last priority, right?
We have to listen to ourselves more than listen to everyone else’s word.
We have to think about ourselves before thinking about others.
And it seems to me, this is not a selfish act but a form of self-love.
We all deserve that.
From my personal standpoint, all this happens when we start looking for some recognition from whoever. It might be your boss, your friends, even your soulmate. Notwithstanding, things have been figured out that people who really by your side won’t make you suffer alone just to make themselves happy.
So the point that I’d like to share with you; do not lose yourself to others. Be good to others and help only as you can, but don’t push too hard on yourself. Because it’s you, the only one, who can keep you sane.
Sending tons of love,
Annisa.
