Treat Yo-self!
"Treat yourself like you treat your friends and family"
I heard this in a few places this week, from various types of people. And it's true. I should do a better job. I always treat the people I love the most with care and compassion that I want for myself, but don't give to myself.
I think this is a flaw in my character. So this upcoming year, I'm putting everyone on hold and I'm stepping forward. I'm going to be nicer to myself. I'll be braver for myself. I'll take care of myself first. Next year (and next month) I turn 40. I think it's time. No one cares for me anyway, I might as well be the only one who cares for myself. Most people are selfish. If you can't beat them, join them, right?
