In the hustle bustle of trying to be so many things to so many people, I guess I forgot to be a friend to myself. I neglected my own needs like rest, time, enjoyment, and happiness. I don’t want to end up bitter like some people who realize that they lost so much time attending to other people and forgetting about themselves. Sure, I’m the type of person who loves strongly and completely. But I’m also the type who needs some time for personal interests. I guess I forgot about the second part of me.
From here on out, I vow to not forget about myself and the things that interest me. (This vow has another benefit: giving my boyfriend time for his own friends and pursuits. Hopefully, this will help us get to know ourselves more and thus build a stronger connection between us.)
Here are some of my plans:
- hang out with my friends more
- pursue my interests and passions (e.g. running, writing, reading, music, Yoga, Pilates, healthy living)
- catch up on some energy (and beauty) sleep
- take up meditation and chi power training
I’m quite happy to have made this empowering and life changing realization. Things are going to get better now.
