Forget Me Not

For many of us; we may be pulled in many directions,
when it comes to taking care of and giving our attention to all
those around us, that we love and care for.

It is not the easiest thing in the world to keep in touch,
with all our friends, around the world that we have connected
with in all our years of living, let alone trying to maintain and
continuously build those strong and extremely close relationships
with those we physically surround ourselves with everyday.

To add to that, one relationship that one many a times neglect most, in this chaos of keeping in touch with others, is remembering to keep in touch with ourselves.

We want to be there for our friends, and for those that we love, as much as we can, but in the battle with time, and work and responsibilities that fill our days, and our minds, we more often than not, forget our relationship with ourselves.

If we are not good to ourselves, we are not good to anybody, as our foundation in relationships in this world, is only as good as our relationship with self.

So don’t feel selfish if you need to take time to look at and nurture what is best for you, as it only then will help in your care for what is best for others, after all. And only you know what you have to do and where you have to go, to be at peace and in love.

The pressures of everyday are inevitable, so don’t pressure yourself to show up in every relationship, if you have not shown up in yours with you.
And if you are not sure what you need to do to be the best version of you, just follow your heart for guidance, it doesn’t know any better than what is truly right.
And that is good enough for me!
