Be The One Who Saves Yourself

By Ashley Spargo

In a world full of everlasting change, there's one thing that is certain. You are the only person that can save yourself. You are responsible for your happiness and your happiness alone. If you feel as though you're drowning, you're responsible for making sure you come up for fresh air. You've had some terrible luck lately? You've managed to make all of the wrong decisions? You're feeling a little unsettled in your life right now? The guy you liked screwed you over?

SO WHAT?

You need to start being selfish. You need to start realizing that you come first NO MATTER WHAT. You are what matters the most to you. You need to realize that.

You've had terrible luck lately? It doesn't matter if this is in your professional or personal life. This is something that is bothering you on a regular basis. You need to realize what it is that's causing this and how you're feeling about it and change it. You are the only one that can change your luck and how you feel about it. If you're not going to change it, you're better off embracing it.

You've managed to make all of the wrong decisions? REALIZE WHY. Realize why and change it. There's always a reason to make a terrible decision. He hurt your feelings so you slept with one of his friends? Totally understandable. However, making it a regular thing is not. Let's stop acting on emotions and begin making more rational and logical decisions. There's no excuse for terrible behavior.

You're feeling a little unsettled in your life right now? Change it up. Thinking about applying to grad school? Do it. Thinking about a career change? Start making moves. You control your happiness and if you're feeling a bit blah about where you are in your life right now, do something about it and do it now!

The guy you liked screwed you over? WELCOME TO THE DAMN CLUB. He wasn't worth your time anyway. You were much hotter than him, you cared more than he did, and let's be honest, no one wants someone who's sleeping with everyone. You're feeling upset about the way things ended and that's completely understandable. Stop feeling as though this didn't work out because of something you did. Stop feeling the urge to drink until you no longer want him. What you need to realize right now is that he's an ass. He's an ass and a douche. You deserve a hell of a lot better and your time is coming.
Stop hoping for someone to come around and save you. Save your damn self. You're worth so much more than you're showing. Now act like it, girl.
