Life's bitter lessons from caring for others has taught me to start taking care of myself.
I am my number one priority without feeling any guilt for my actions and decisions. I will not allow anyone to take away my pleasure. If I do the things that give me pleasure, without harming anyone, I shall no longer be bothered by the opinions of others because I take full responsibility for my actions without being accountable to anyone. I expect others to respect me as I respect them. If they don't, then what they say or do will mean nothing to me. January 8, 2025
