Just Become Selfish Because No One Cares

Are you selfless?

Well, I've learned to care less.

When I gave my all, when I dared,

The truth hit hard - no one cared.

I held on tight, to values and grace,

But found myself lost, out of place.

I poured out kindness, stayed so pure,

Yet silence told me - nothing's sure.

I stood for others, gave them my light,

But shadows consumed all my fight.

Now it's time I turn away,

From the ones who led me astray.

I'll guard my heart, I'll guard my mind,

No longer bound, no longer blind.

I'll rise, evolve, grow and succeed,

No longer tending to others' need.

Selfishness isn't a curse, it's a shield,

To the pain the world refused to yield.

I'll thrive alone, I'll chart my way,

Because no one cared, but that's okay.

Now watch me soar beyond the sky,

No one can stop me, don't ask why.

It's my time now, to chase, to claim,

And carve for myself a lasting name.

Lately, I've started to realize that when push comes to shove, the entire world might just turn its back on you, especially when you need it the most. This isn't just a fleeting thought - it's the harsh truth I've learned through experience, and these experiences have shaped my perspective and prompted me to write this.

The Harsh Reality of Selflessness

Being selfless is a noble act, they say. But here's the truth: when you're always giving, always sacrificing, you might find yourself standing alone. You'll be left wondering where all the people you've helped, supported, or stood by are when you need them the most. That's when you realize - no one truly cares.

Why Becoming Selfish Might Be the Answer

I'm not saying we should abandon all principles, but there comes a point where you need to protect yourself first. This is where the idea comes in - just become selfish because no one cares. It's not about being unkind or unfeeling; it's about self-preservation. If you keep giving all of yourself without prioritizing your own needs, you'll be drained with nothing left for yourself.

The more you focus on yourself - your growth, your needs, your aspirations - the better it is for you. And ultimately, the higher the chances of you succeeding in whatever you do.

A New Perspective: Balance

Now, here's the choice: do you stick rigidly to your principles, sacrificing everything for others without expecting anything in return? Or do you find a balance, where you fulfill your own wants and needs while still being true to your values? For a long time, I've been living the life of strict selflessness, holding onto principles that put others first. But now, I intend to change that.

It's time to start balancing. I'll keep my values, but I will also take care of my own desires, my own ambitions. Because in the end, no one is going to look out for you but yourself. And that's perfectly okay.

Moving Forward

Life is too short to constantly be at the mercy of others' expectations, especially when they don't return the favor. It's okay to be selfish sometimes. It's okay to prioritize yourself, to pursue your own happiness, and to focus on your personal growth. After all, no one will care as much about your life as you do.

Questions to Ponder:

Have you ever felt like you were giving too much to others without receiving the same in return?

Are you sacrificing your own happiness and growth just to keep up with others' expectations?

What principles are you holding onto that might be limiting your personal progress?

Are you truly prioritizing yourself, or are you constantly placing others' needs ahead of your own?

How can you begin to strike a balance between living for yourself and living for others?

Is it time for you to reassess your values and redefine what "selfishness" means in the context of your personal growth?
