You Come First. Always.

When I was younger I always wondered how people could walk away from things and from people without ever looking back. Turns out sometimes you just have to leave the people or the things that hold you down and suppress you behind. No matter how much it hurts, it needs to be done..for your own good. A lot of people confuse self-preservation with selfishness. If taking care of yourself and your well-being is selfish, then by all means, be selfish. You come first. You. So if you have to leave some people in your past because you recognise that no matter how much you love them and no matter how much they mean to you,they just aren't good for you. Then so be it. There is no need for you to feel guilty or for you to explain yourself for choosing to take care of yourself.

At the same time we need to realise that sometimes we are not good for others and that sometimes they leave us behind, not because they want to but because they simply have to. It doesn't make them horrible people, it just makes them people who somehow weren't compatible with us and who were trying to do the best they can to protect themselves and their hearts from us.
