Out of all 7 billion people living in this earth,

I have always wanted to love somebody,

to give my love to them,

sacrifice my everything for them and,

make them my priority.

The thing is, that someone was never mine to begin with.

Every single one of them.

I thought I was doing the right thing when I loved them.

But I ended up hurting myself.

I wasn't happy.

I wasn’t satisfied.

Just mere pain and suffering.

With that, I became cold-hearted towards them.

That didn't do any change to me as well.

In fact, I became worst by day.

Then, I came to realise that I need to love myself before I can set out to love others.

Prioritise myself before prioritising others.

Care for myself before caring for others.

Understand myself before understanding others.

ps. I was aware of personal development and put high emphasis on this but we may never know when will we waver from our beliefs and contradicts ourselves which happens to me.

Thus, it's difficult to maintain ourselves so we have to keep on trying over and over again in order to be consistent in whatever we're doing.
