You can be selfish. It's not wrong. 👌😁

Don't take mental health

To exchange with anyone's pleasure

Because when we force to do

Someone else might get what he wants.

But what we lost

Is the peace of our own hearts.

Nobody's worth enough.

That will cause us to crash inside every day.

Don't take your own happiness.

Go for the price paid for someone.

Be Selfish With Your Writing Time 𝜗𝜚
“Be selfish with your writing time.” I heard that years ago, and it stayed with me—not because it sounded harsh, but because it was honest. Writing asks for something rare: your attention, your quiet, your presence. And those things are fragile. They get interrupted, postponed, given away in

A handwritten note on lined paper defines 'Selfish' as prioritizing one's own needs without regard for impact, driven by ego. 'Selfless' is defined as prioritizing others' needs with compassion, often at personal cost. The image introduces 'Self-full' as the middle ground: honoring your needs while caring for others.

Would you call this selfish of me or fair ?
I have 2 credit cards that I never fully paid off (plus a few medical bills). And my husband has been helping me pay them down. 😅 i feels like it’s mostly fair cause he’s my man, and he’s the one who’s supposed to make sure we’re good on all aspects. If I need help, he’s supposed to support me.

Choosing Me Over Family Feels Selfish

Am I Selfish for Not Helping My Parents Pay Rent
I finally moved out after years of emotional abuse. Since then, I’ve been working, paying rent, and saving for college on my own. Recently my grandma called saying my parents can’t pay rent and asked me to use my savings to help them. I refused. Every dollar I’ve saved, I worked hard for myself.
