I Say Yes When I Want to Say No

Saying no to the world doesn't make you weak. Saying yes to yourself doesn't make you a bad person. Self-care seems to be a revolutionary concept these days, but it's so important if you're going to continue to be there for the people around you.

Saying no to the world and saying yes to yourself isn't selfish. By accepting that you aren't perfect and you have to take care of yourself, you can work towards being the person you want to be, not the person the world perceives you to be or seemingly "needs" you to be. If you've done life right, you'll have people around you who get that. And trust me, they'll be waiting for you once you have it figured all out.

You're not selfish. You're just doing what's best for you. And that sets an example for the people around you.
