Help Yourself.. --Ana

    

                      I know you've been putting this one off for a real long time. You've been trying to deal with things, you've been holding it all together. Keeping her happy. Keeping him happy. Forcing a smile on your face. Doing your best. And in doing so forgetting all about yourself. But you know what? You're human. You're just like them. Just like the ones you force up a smile for. You need to be looked after just like the ones you look after. You have to be cared for like the ones you care for. And the only one who you can count on to look after you, to care for you, is yourself. Nobody's gonna do that for you. And even if they do, they can't do that better than you can do.

                 Yeah. Life keeps you busy. You need to be so many people at a time. A mother, daughter, wife,..... Or a son, father, husband.....The list is limitless. But you always forget that you also have to be you. You need to give yourself as much attention as you give to those around you. And the moment you start granting yourself this attention, little by little, you'll know the importance of it.

                  No, please. I'm not asking you to become a narcissist or some self-absorbed prick. But self consciousness in the right amount will do you good. You'll learn to be happier and you'll keep the ones around you happier.

                    Find yourself some time from your day. Start today. Do what you like. Sing, dance and jump around or curl up in your bed with coffee and a book. All's up to you. Do what that inner you wants you to do. You've earned every right to allow yourself that much. Self care is a medicine. It'll cure your soul. But you don't need too much of it, because you don't wanna risk an overdose!
