Is It Selfish?

Dear Reader,

Subconsciously when faced with a decision you consider how it makes everyone around you feel.

You filter through how it affects the people in your life.

And whether you know it or not your decision is based on other people’s happiness and comfort levels.

But what would it look like to not care?

What would your decisions be if you were finally selfish for once?

I’ll tell you…

You will start going to events, concerts, and settings that excite you.

Your dreams and goals will be purely yours and they will be achievable.

You will start living your life for you.

Along the way, you may lose some friends, a job, or a relationship.

But you will gain friends that are aligned with your new self, a job that you are passionate about and a relationship that encourages and acknowledges your dreams and goals because you are now aware of them.

We are taught to not be selfish and think of others and I agree with that.

But sometimes the people around you will hold you back so it is okay to think about you first and what you want first.

All my love,

Kaila 💌
