        When I was much younger I would never say Boobto a goise, as they say. It is incredible what authorty can do to you – making you think you do not have the right to be yourself. But as you live and grow, you change, hopefully. For some it is quite hard. I hope that everyone reading your post takes its message in. Life is short! Much love to you for today popsicle xd

    Selfishness excludes others, whereas self-care does not.

    So take care of our selfes is the best we can do!!

    I would say not selfish but in self awareness. Helping others is good for the soul and karma. 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      It is good helping the others but sometimes we need some help and attention too 😊💕 Thank you for stopping by!

        Yes, true, I know some people forget about themselves.

    I don’t think that’s being selfish, I think it’s being the best you can be and that will spill over to others because you will be happy. We have been taught to think of others which is a way of making ourselves weak and powerless…unhappy and unfulfilled.

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      I agree! We have been taught this way but luckily nowadays some of us also realise that we are someone too, that we care too! Have a wonderful day! 🌷
