Sometimes you do just need to cut off the world and enjoy the now. Have plans but really not feeling it? Cancel it. Want to put your phone on silent and ignore life for a while? Go ahead. Want to take the longest bubble bath and pamper session in the middle of the day and soak till you're resembling a prune? Crack on. Its so hard to forget that sometimes you need to cut life out and most definitely social media every now and then to just relax and clear your mind.
There's so much I've wanted to do but I've never seemed to get around to it, for other reasons and not being able to take the time out. I've always wanted to blog, but thought the time would take me away from certain people because I need to be in my own little bubble to whack a post or two out. And you know what? It does take up some free time I have, but I don't care if that's an issue for people because it's an outlet I need and has helped me along the way.
I'm also forever dreaming of visiting new places, whether it be a weekend break or a good old holiday. I've never really gone ahead and planned anything because I didn't want to annoy different people because I was going away without them to somewhere they've mentioned before. I'm also a bit of a nightmare where travel is concerned as I need to have a fit to fly letter every time and extra medication 'just in case', and also don't want to be a burden on anyone in case I do have an offish day. But this year, I need to remember that I can't plan around Epilepsy, my closest friends are all supportive about it and I really need to not let it hold me back. So, I am now planning to see new places and I'm going to enjoy it.
Where money is concerned I'm a massive pain, I'm forever thinking I should be moving out and having my life together by now, but..there's no real time scale to follow. I need to remember that. I'm also really good at throwing my money at unnecessary shit. It can go either way for me where financial responsibility is involved. As much as I want my own space and to build my life, I don't like being home on my own in the evening. So living on my own would be a massive challenge for me, but I guess I can't live at home forever and the person I would have seen myself do that with isn't in my life anymore. So looks like that will be a solo challenge. But for the minute, I'm going to be a home bird and buy more shit I don't need in the process.
This year I'm concentrating on me, a healthier life and mind. I'm doing what I want to do, when I want to do it. I'm buying the stupidly expensive shoes because I can and want to. I'm getting out and about more rather than spending my time slobbing out. I'm going on breaks away and holidays, I'm going to gigs to see bands people cringe at but I love. I'm doing me and I'll do it all on my own. It's taken me far to long to realise I come first, from now on I won't forget it.
Always do you first.

Girl I love this post so much!! You are so right, we all need to be a little bit selfish every so often!! And you know where I am if you want a coffee date!!
ReplyDeleteThank you ❤️
DeleteI'm trying to be a bit more selfish this year, I've always been a people pleaser and it really screws up my mental health when I think I've failed someone. So I'm definitely taking more time for myself and saying no to plans more often and instead tucking myself in bed, ordering a take away and binge watching a tv series.
