Letters From The Lounge - Ep. 4: To the One Who Keeps Choosing Everybody Else

Dear you…When was the last time you chose yourself?Not after everybody else was taken care of.Not after every problem was solved.Not when there was finally nothing left to do.When was the last time you put yourself first without feeling guilty about it?You’ve gotten so good at showing up for everyone else that somewhere along the way, your own needs became something that could always wait.But loving people doesn’t require losing yourself.Saying “I need something too” doesn’t make you selfish.And choosing yourself doesn’t mean you stopped caring about everyone else.Maybe choosing yourself means saying no without writing a paragraph explaining why.Maybe it means resting without feeling guilty.Maybe it means finally walking away from something that keeps taking from you but never pours anything back.Whatever it looks like, remember:You deserve some of the love you keep giving away.So before you automatically say yes to everyone else…ask yourself:“What do I need?”And for once…listen to the answer. 💌Letters From The Lounge - Episode 4To the One Who Keeps Choosing Everybody ElseFrom a quiet corner of The Sykes Lounge.🖤 Be Safe • Be Great • Be You
