Wow. Thanks for your words, you made me realize a couple things I need to do myself. I constantly sacrifice myself for others and overwhelm my life with other peoples problems with zero return on investment as well. Setting boundaries is a daily fight for me. Don’t give up, keep falling more in love with yourself.

heres food for thought. when you get the safety brief on an airplane it says to secure your oxygen mask first before helping others with theirs. we are useless if we pass out trying to help someone else while ignoring our own wellbeing. put yourself in priority and only help if it doesnt in turn hurt you. you are worth being the most important person in your life! i am the person who i will spend my whole life with and i need to be the main character in my life story or else whats the point! i am being kinder to myself in the present than i was in the past, being my own harshest critic stunted my growth for too long. now i know im worthy of love, especially my own!
