An oxymoron? "Selfish" carries many negative connotations. Selfishness is almost never celebrated because it suggests doing something in your best interest with little to no consideration given to the implication of your decision for others. But the harsh reality is that every decision in life is a trade-off, and it's just not possible to please everyone all the time. It is important to put yourself first once in a while to bring yourself back into balance before you emotions spiral out of control from being overly altruistic.
P/S: I know it feels like you are about to lose the only good
thing in your life right now, but who knows, it may very well be your ticket to
freedom. Just know whatever it is that you decide, I've got your back.
