I’m going to tell you all, what nobody told me which is why I’m sick now with kidney issues, PUT YOURSELF FIRST, especially if you are a Black woman/girl because the world is so racist and at every turn it will try to beat you down because you are black and/or woman, stop trying to be a good person and just be you, again, stop trying to be a good person and just be YOU.
I don’t care who says it’s not okay but you have to be selfish to EVERYBODY because selfishness is self-love so cut off or walk away from who you need to if they aren’t benefiting you physically, mentally, and emotionally! I don’t care if it’s a boyfriend, sibling, parent, or friend, learn to walk away or live your life with a sickness because you put everybody else over yourself!
I don’t feel sick which is why I’m still doing normal things like going to school and starting a business, but just knowing I am always dampens my mood, it’s not a feeling I wish on my worst enemy, which is why I’m telling you all this now—take care of YOU first, forget being good, be selfish, be YOU!
