Why are you spending so much of your effort trying to make other people happy?

Its time to step up to the plate and be selfish.

Perhaps this year, you stayed in a relationship that took everything out of you.

Maybe 2017 was the year you let toxic friendships and relationships dictate your very own happiness.

Perhaps you let people walk all over you, stomping on everything you believed in.

Maybe you let someone from your past back into your life only to be let down, once again.

And maybe this year, you didnt follow your gut instinct or your heart.

Maybe, all you did was let someone else tell you what to do.

Maybe you let society, make a path for you, instead of doing what you actually wanted.

This needs to end now.

The putting yourself down and the self hate talk will end now.

Because you deserve better.

Because you are beautiful.

Because your heart is huge, and doesnt deserve maybe love.

And because you are special, whether you know it or not.

In 2018, put yourself on the top of your priority list.

Start believing that you are a force to be reckoned with, instead of believing that you are nothing.

Start believing that your heart is so much more precious than you have ever remembered.

And start believing that you, and your soul, are made to be loved.

In 2018, dont settle for the friendships that you have only held onto because of history.

Dont settle for the friendships that judge your every move and belittle you.

Dont settle for the friendships that turn your world from light to dark.

And dont settle for the friendships that turn your light into dirt.

Say goodbye to them.

Let those people go.

They never deserved you anyway.

In 2018, dont settle for relationships that talk down to you.

In 2018, say goodbye to the boy or the girl who said goodbye to you years ago.

They arent coming back.

Its time to move on and to let them go, officially.

Dont say sorry for moving on from that toxic person or place.

Dont say sorry for letting go of old friends who you have nothing in common with anymore.

Dont say sorry for buying that plane ticket, leaving your past behind you.

And dont say sorry for being selfish.

Because this is your life.

And why not spend it being happy.

Why not spend it doing what makes your soul smile.

Why not spend your life, doing everything that makes living worthwhile.

Be selfish in everything you do.

At the end of the day the only person who you could depend on, is you.
