Truth Project: Two
Something you love about yourself.I'm selfish. Yes, I'm aware that selfish is an adjective that typically has a negative connotation, but I like my selfishness. When I make life decisions, I make them for myself. If something blows up in my face, I'm the one who has to deal with the fallout and I'm the one who takes the blame. No resentment, no guilt.
Some of this selfishness is the luxury of not having a significant other or any dependents. I don't have to think about anyone else's career or education. I don't have to consider anyone's feelings but my own.
Part of this is independence and self-sufficiency, but part of it is being willing to make decisions without considering anyone else. It seems like everyone I know is so busy worrying about others that they forget to do what makes them happy or fulfilled.
Yes, I'm selfish, and I like it. I also think that I'm a generous, reasonably kind-hearted young woman. Quite honestly, I intend to embrace my selfishness for as long as it's not hurting anyone else, and I refuse to feel bad about it.

You shouldn't feel bad about it. At all. I like it.
It's amazing how important being selfish actually is. It is one thing that I am learning more these days, thanks to my Aries husband who has managed to show me how you can consider what you need alongside what everyone else needs at the same time.
