be there for yourself

hey besties, I have come to the realization that being there for yourself is very important as you are growing up and experiencing more moments alone to think what step to take next in life. As someone who wants to be available for friends and family, it may seem and feel selfish to put myself first but that does not need to be the case. If people around you truly love you and want the best for you, they will understand when you have to stay in to get through whatever you need to get through. Being overwhelmed and frustrated because plans are not resulting the way you hoped does not have to become a negative train if events. Take failures and beginnings openly to learn lessons and build patience to get to the bigger picture you have in mind, and not everyone will see that.
