I forgot about myself... How long it took me to realize that the most important person in my life is ME! I was busy pleasing everyone, helping and thanking everyone. Later I noticed that there were too few who tried to please me. I have been busy enduring insults, blows to the back, betrayals, crises, and whims, from people devoid of humanity and character. I have been busy waiting for appreciation from people who are incapable of recognizing merit. I was busy suffering for those who did not deserve it and crying for some who built their happiness on my tears. I was busy trying to show those unable to know me... what I really am. I was busy wearing a mask towards some people, who if they had seen how I really am, that I am also a vulnerable, sensitive person, would not have stepped on my feet and would not have taken advantage. I have been busy forgiving people who have wronged me. I was busy proving to some that I was a good person, forgetting that those with wicked souls could not see others as good. I have been busy rejoicing in the achievements of others, suffering for their failures, and forgetting to rejoice in my own accomplishments or to weep for my own troubles. I was busy dealing with the problems of others. I was busy wasting my time with selfish, pessimistic people, who charged me negatively and from whom I did not learn anything good. I have been busy adding and deleting priorities, dreams, and people from my list. I was busy educating others and forgot to educate myself. I have been busy trying to be perfect, for people full of flaws. 
But, that's it! That is enough! From now on I will be busy making a list of priorities, dreams, and plans. I will be busy living only for myself and for those who truly deserve to be around me. I will be busy learning that not everyone deserves my time and love.
