Be Selfish

Love yourself FIRST.

Who is the one that decided being selfish was bad?

Who decided taking time to take care of yourself and do things you love is a bad thing?

Who decided that you have to put all others before your own self?

Who decided that your dreams should be put on the back burner while you help someone else to build theirs?

I. AM. SELFISH.

I take the time to take care of myself.

I take the time to do things I love.

I have a huge heart and do put many people first, but my own body is truly the ONLY place I have to live for the rest of my life, therefore, I will treat it like a temple.

I take time out of every. single. day to be sure that I get my workout in and read some inspirational stuff that will help me to remain happy and positive throughout each day. I do this for ME. I do it for me, because if I didn't, no one would want to be around me...So, then again...maybe I do it for your sake too.

My dreams aren't dreams, they are plans. I WILL do what I want with my life.

There's this fun little quote that I love, "If you don't build your dreams, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs."

No way José!

If you have a dream, don't just dream it. DO it.

If there is something you like to do, but it's not something your friends/family like, TAKE TIME TO DO IT!

Do things that make YOU happy.

It is NOT a bad thing to be selfish once in a while.

Doing things for yourself will make you feel much happier.

“It isn’t selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.” –Mandy Hale

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
