Pick yourself

Choose You...

I have learned the hard way. When it comes to picking between yourself and someone else. Choose You!! It may never be easy but do it. Do it for yourself. It's what you will need in the long run. I have been there and currently going through it.

You may think certain people will never leave your side and will always bother for you and you may be right. But there will always come a time where that is not true at all. The best thing you can do is put it behind you and choose you. Do what you want to do, and make your life how you want it to be.

It's your future not theirs! Do what makes you happy for the long run. You are the one that has to make these decisions for self to pave the path of your life. Make yourself happy!

Someone told me when you get in that place where you feel like you will never get out of think of 3 things a person who means the world to you, a purpose in your life, and your favorite place to be or go. It's honestly the best advice I could have received at that time.

Make your life what you want it to be! Don't be afraid to tell others no!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
