I always choose myself because I know my true self, what I've given, what I've compromised on, and how many times I've chosen silence over poisonous and veiled words, over a cold response, and love over hate, all for the sake of preserving affection. I am great in my own eyes, even if no one else sees me. That's why I will choose my comfort, my peace, my tranquility, my stability, and peace be upon you wherever you are.
