on being selfish.

ever since i broke up with my boyfriend i've slowly started realizing something:


it's okay to be selfish.

actually, it's a good thing. i'm realizing that this is my life and that i come first, so i will do the things that make me feel happy even if it may upset others or make them uncomfortable. i can steer my life in the direction i want. i feel a lot more confident/secure in myself and being able to do what's best for me has made life so much less complicated. 

when i say "selfish" i don't mean that you should go out and be a bitch to people. you can be selfish and still be kind, can still show genuine care for others and make sacrifices for their sake. but when it comes to decisions that are really important to you or that are hugely influencing your life, just put yourself first. ask yourself, "is keeping this problem/person/etc. around going to bring me happiness in the long run?" if the answer is no, find a way to remove it. you can go about that anyway you want, preferably with respect, but that depends on you and the gravity of the issue.

making this post because i basically said bye to my toxic grandma yesterday lol.
