I am tired of thinking that everyone else deserves more than I do.
I am tired of being the giving one.
The one with all of the answers.

I cannot keep trying so hard to double-check that everyone is okay when I am secretlynotokay.
Beingtoo niceis slowly destroying me.
It is making me more stressed.
It is making me feel less alive.
I cant keep bending over backwards for everyone else and neglecting myself.
I cant keep putting my needs last.

I cant keep treating my mental health as an afterthought.
From now on, I am going to put myself first.
I am going to do what makes me happiest.
Even though my natural instinct is to help others, I am allowed to sayno.
I am allowed to take a day to myself.
I am allowed to choose the selfish answer over the selfless one.
I am allowed to place myself ahead of others.
I do not owe anyone anything.
I am not meant to save them.
Cut toxic people out of my life.
Surround myself with positivity.
Allow myself to chase after my dreams.
Allow myself to reach for success.
I deserve to experience happiness.
I deserve to smile authentic smiles.
I have been putting too much on my plate at once.
I have been running around, helping everyone else, while letting myself suffer.
I am tired of putting myself last.
I am tired of thinking so poorly of myself.
I am tired of thinking that everyone else deserves more than I do.
From now on, I am going to treat myself as a first priority.
I am going to take care of myself mentally and physically.
I am going to love myself the way I deserve to be loved.
