Dear Mr./Ms. Selfish,
Let's get one thing straight, the world doesn't revolve around you. Regardless of what you think, there are bigger issues in the world. I'm tired of hearing about how hard your life is when one little issue arises. Your attitude is hideous and what I'd love to do is ship you off on a service trip. I bet most of you have never even gotten your hands dirty. Well, here's a little letter to give you a reality check.
Sharing stories with you is the absolute worst because somehow your accomplishments always seem to outshine mine. Even though something fabulous just happened in my life, you always turn it around to make the story about you. Some advice, start listening more.
Even though you think you're entitled to everything, you're not. You are just like the rest of us. Although it seems like such a burden to wait with the rest of us "peasants," you're not royalty, so get off your high horse. Some advice, get some patience.
Sorry, but this isn't "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." No one cares about your life as nearly as much as you think they do. You're not a celebrity, people only know what's happening in your life because you fully document it. Some advice, Snapchat isn't the daily news, stop giving me a play by play.
Have some respect for the world around you. Shockingly, other people matter too. That person you just cut off because your time is more important, might be late to a meeting that could determine the rest of their life. Some advice, put others first for once.
If you're reading this letter like, "Wow, this really resonates with me," there's always time to make a change. Realize having a "me first" attitude is truly an ugly personality trait. I'm not saying it's not OK to put yourself first sometimes, but make it within reason. If more people would have a "me last" attitude, the world would be a better place.
Warmest regards,
The girl who's over your crappy attitude.
