you might find a better balance.
You are allowed to tell your person you arent in the mood forsexwhen they reach for your zipper.
You are allowed to tell your boss that you cant work overtime that weekend.
You are allowed to disappoint other people.
You shouldnt feelguiltyfor choosing to stay inside and sleep while your friends are out partying on a Saturday night.
You shouldnt feel guilty forcutting someone out of your lifewhen they brought you more stress than you could handle.
You shouldnt feel guilty over decisions that you have every right to make.
Stop choosing the selfless option because you think it makes you a better person.

You deserve to have time to yourself.
