I’m tired of living someone else’s life and forgetting mine

Today I woke up different.

A little irritated because I didn’t have a good night’s sleep, but that wasn’t the reason why I woke up different.

My desire to change is more latent than ever, my desire to look only at myself and live loving who I am is great.

Selfishness?

Perhaps.

But for those who have spent their entire lives looking out for the well-being of others and never for themselves it is acceptable.

I’ve been analyzing my life and I’ve come to a conclusion: I’m tired of living someone else’s life and forgetting mine.

But it’s no use just saying I’m changing or have changed and not taking any action whatsoever to start a journey.

SEE TOO:

• The expectations that others create of us

Life is made of journeys, cycles, beginnings and endings. It’s okay if the end didn’t go quite as we planned.

We can always start over.

Today I decided to change and this wonderful transformation started inside me seeing my reflection in the mirror and seeing how beautiful I am, inside and out.

I am the woman that, if I were a man, I would like to have by my side.

I am the friend I wish I had.

I am the mother, sister, daughter I wanted to be/have.

So today I decide to work my reciprocity.

They will only deserve my petals when they have the courage to deal with my thorns.
