sometimes you should be selfish

not just should

you have to be

to be selfish isn't always a bad thing

too much of anything can be bad though

and that includes selflessness

if you are one of the many who are so selfless that they self sabotage

this is my advice to you

start putting yourself first more often

you are still allowed to treat humans kindly

but dont forget that you too are a human

who deserves the same dignity as any other living, breathing being 

start expecting that your emotions will change

and accept that

you are human

expect that clouds will roll through, lighting will strike

but also expect that rainbows will appear

expect sunny days in the sand but also expect tsunamis 

there is no making the weather go away

it is here to stay

the bad isnt going to leave forever

but neither is the good

and when the clouds let go

if youd like too

make the most of what makes earth home

and dance
