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.

Does that make you selfish??
You should never have to beg for what you deserve. You should never have to beg for the bare minimum. And you certainly should never have to feel selfish for wanting the same effort that you’re already giving! HOW could that make you selfish?? If you are needing to fight for effort from someone

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.
