put myself first

I’ve always evaluated myself by my progress on goals and tasks, and it’s time to stop. My boyfriend’s mom, my long-time friend, recently talked to me about my worries and anxieties about school, and reminded me that no matter what happens, no matter what college I get into or don’t, no matter what I end up doing for a living, and no matter who I end up marrying, I am the one constant. Despite what may happen, I need to remember that it’s still my life, and I can’t lose myself.

My goal isn’t to put myself before other people, my goal is to put myself first before all the successes and failures in life.
