Today I choose myself and it is not an act of selfishness. Today I choose myself above everything and everyone, because I deserve the time to me. I deserve to free myself from the ropes of the commitments I have made with others and dedicate myself to my care, love and respect for myself.
Today I choose to be the queen of my world without others becoming my worries. Today they are my whole world. Because I have always taken care of others and, even if this was not an obligation for me, I have decided that I must always be my first choice.
Today I am free to be myself, because I am tired of giving parts of my time, of my love and of my life to people who do not know how to appreciate them. So, for once, putting myself in front of others, choosing me despite everything and everyone is not an act of selfishness, but of honesty towards myself.
Today I will build a new self in which there is no room for a "you first", but only for a "we" if we are sharing a moment. Today I decided to spread my wings and start flying towards what I really want, without guilt or torment. Because I come first of all the rest.
I choose myself to color my world
I am happy in my own way and I do not ask that you be part of this joy. Indeed, I ask for nothing, apart from giving me space, the space I need to be myself, and not what you want me to be. Now I feel that I am missing something. Something, not someone. It is the freedom of movement, it is the possibility of coloring my whole world.
This is why today I choose myself to color my world, because my smile cannot appear on the faces of others. Because I know that the sky is not always blue, that it is full of shades. And I choose the shades, because everything is subjective, everything changes color according to the way I observe it.
I choose myself first of all because, among the thousand ways of living life, I choose the one that makes me happy. I choose me because I deserve to be happy without fear. I choose me because previously there have been people who despised me and who believed themselves to be my masters.
They erased my dreams and made me feel guilty when I didn't prioritize them. And at that moment I was not important to anyone: I was an option, I could be discarded. But now my time has come, because I took off and decided to be the way I want.
I have decided that the smile must be part of my face
I have decided that the smiles I am looking for must not only appear on the faces of others, but also and above all on mine. It is no longer about resisting or surviving: it is about living, having fun and being happy. Today I choose me because I am the only one who can get what I want; no one can live in my place.
Today I decide my path. I am the one who, with a firm step, looks to the future without the fear that my choice will suit others. Because I am me and I don't have to wait for others to like what I do. I am independent and, as long as I do not interfere in the lives of others by hurting them, they must respect my freedom.
Today I choose me because if I despise myself I will never find appreciation from others. Today I choose me, I take care of myself and I love myself because that's what I deserve. I have been brave and have decided that I am worth as much as the other people I prioritized before. I chose myself and I don't feel guilty. And you, will you ever put yourself first?
