Put SELF first... it's not a crime

People will guilt trip you into thinking that doing anything for yourself is wrong. If you are one those people who never say no and just helps everyone in need to the point you forget about yourself. It's okay to want to help people, but sometimes you have to throw your hands up in the air and say I love myself and I need to take care of myself. It's a great thing to take time out for yourself to make sure you are doing okay. Never feel bad for doing something that makes you feel good. It's so easy to get caught up in things that other people have going on, and you shouldn't have to deal with the nonsense. People will rob you of your joy and make you feel terrible for even taking a moment to yourself. I use to feel bad for just saying no because I was so used to not speaking up and allowing myself to have just a day where I catered to myself. I am one of those people who always take on the emotions of others when others are hurting, and they break down and tell me. I can usually feel the same pain they are dealing with themselves. People who are prone to want to fix other people usually have a hard time doing what's best for themselves. I want you to understand that you shouldn't put yourself on the back burner for other people. You only get one life and you need to do what makes you happy at the end of the day. Don't feel bad for doing what's best for you.
