I think I am at a point where other people do not matter as much to me anymore. I don't know if that sounds bad or not, but I've come to the realization that I will only ever have myself. Even if I am madly in love with someone, or well, my relationship with my mother. She will die eventually. We all become orphans as we grow older. There are so many people out there that will drag you down into their hole with them if you give more to them than you do yourself. And even those that don't drag you down with them, you have no idea if later they will leave you or fade out of your life.
You are your most precious asset.
I used to think this concept sounded selfish, but, lately I've begun to realize that maybe it is smart, a way of self-preservation, that, if not maintained can lead to you allowing others to abuse you or to dependence-like behavior towards others. A subservient position.
I don't want that after experiencing domestic violence in my home as a child. I've realized that I want to be a strong independent woman. I want to come first to myself (maintaining my happiness, my dreams, my safety, my goals), and then others can come second.
