From now on, I choose me From now on, I choose me. Not because I think I'm better than anyone else, but because I've spent enough time putting myself last. I've spent enough time hoping other people would give me the care, consideration, and understanding that I wasn't giving myself. That chapter of my life is over. From now on, I will stop arguing with my intuition when it tries to protect me. I will stop making excuses for things that continuously drain me. I will stop calling self-neglect loyalty and stop confusing overgiving with love. Some lessons took me years to learn, but I finally understand them now. From now on, my relationship with myself comes first. My peace matters. My feelings matter. My needs matter. I am no longer waiting for someone else to make me feel valued. I know my worth now. And there is something incredibly freeing about no longer needing permission to choose yourself.
