The world doesn’t revolve around anyone. People are going to need to make compromises for others along the way. But, thinking for yourself once in a while is never bad, as long as no one takes advantage of anyone.

I got a new piercing today and now have troubles getting sleep. Then I realized how much a metaphor the situation is to my life right now.

I keep wanting to face where I have to lean on where my new peircing is, even if I know it hurts. But I can also face the other way so I wouldnt have to be hurt. So why won’t I? Because I’m comfortable with that position.

Oh, the things I do for others; the things I do that I forget about myself.

Helping others is my true happiness, and my ego too. I don’t wanna be seen as a selfish person. When I know that I can do something, I’ll do it.

Sacrificing yourself for the sake of others is one of the most courageous things a person can do.

Is it right to let yourself get taken over by anger? Is it wrong to think of yourself first?

I’d rather suffer than resent others.
