I know, it sounds selfish and superficial...there are definitely many more people out there in the world with far worse troubles than I, but still - that doesn't mean that my minor sorrows should be completely discounted, should they? I was raised in a strict environment and always told that I should 'count my blessings', and I do...but I don't think that I should disregard myself completely, for the sake of other peoples' feelings. My parents always put others before me, and I brought that trait into adulthood. I think that I should put myself before others, and not drain myself physically or emotionally for them. My health and well-being should come first...shouldn't it?
I don't think I'm making any sense right now. I thought that I would...damnit!
who says you are not making any sense?
i agree with you, you should take care of your own needs first
