~ Foolish ~<\/p>\n
I fell in love<\/p>\n
My world was amazing<\/p>\n
I even became a stronger woman<\/p>\n
As years went on, I fell more and more in love<\/p>\n
I changed for the better<\/p>\n
I loved him for that<\/p>\n
However, what I didn’t notice…<\/p>\n
I was also changing in other ways<\/p>\n
I became stronger and smarter, yes<\/p>\n
I also lost patience, kindness, and even a little of myself<\/p>\n
I realized I became his life preserver<\/p>\n
Constantly helping him battle his inner demons<\/p>\n
And I myself became a little darker in the end<\/p>\n
I never knew it<\/p>\n
Until I became sick<\/p>\n
Being told I need to make drastic changes to get better<\/p>\n
I realized I had stopped taking care of myself<\/p>\n
I was always so stressed and run down<\/p>\n
I thought that is what everyone feels like and does in life<\/p>\n
I always wondered how many others did much more than I<\/p>\n
But always remained healthy and happy<\/p>\n
Sometimes in order to be happy in your life<\/p>\n
You have to make choices<\/p>\n
Stop being foolish and stop saving everyone else<\/p>\n
Save yourself first, because without you, everyone else will fall too<\/p>\n
We can all help each other, but need to make sure we help ourselves first<\/p>\n
Know that it is okay to say no once in a while<\/p>\n
Saving anyone starts with saving yourself to know how to help<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
