Selfish

I can truthfully say I’ve lived a selfish life. I’ve hardly put anyone or anything before me. My needs have always been immediate. I’ve never really concerned myself genuinely with anyone else’s needs or wants. Even in my last relationship, I’ll say as much as I swooned over this girl, the selfish child in me never left. No matter how much I tried to deceive myself into believing that I was acting in the best interest of others, I have finally come to admit that it was never the case. It has taken me years to confront these personal failures. Ive never been in the lucky position to love something more than I love myself, which seems to be what being in love is about (kind of). At a certain point, we must admit to ourselves that we aren’t these all love giving selfless creatures parading around on social media that we are. In truth, most of us have our own issues and will resort to extreme measures to protect our sanity.
