LOVE MYSELF - LOVE YOURSELF

42.

Lately my parents have been trying to teach me
That it's okay to be a bitch sometimes.
Like in a good way.
Because I've given too many chances to the same person
And I've tried my best because I did not want to hurt other's feelings,
But I should take care of myself first.
YOU should take care of yourself first.
So I think it's something we all should try to learn.
Take care of yourself before taking care of others,
Because it's not their heart that it's going to break, make you cry and keep you awake at night,
And it's your heart that beats in your chest.
You are responsible for yourself,
That's a sad truth I had to learn quite early,
But it's better too learn it too early than too late.

I personally am fascinated with self-confident people that don't really care about other's opinions and are not ashamed of themselves.
So I want be become someone like that,
Someone who is enough on their own,
Because we all are.
We were enough yesterday,
Now,
And forever.

I'm going to work on that so that I am not afraid to be a bitch the next time I have to confront that toxic, manipulating person.
And I hope you do that too.

Your heart may heal after it breaks,
But it lefts scars in your soul that you are afraid to admit you have.
