A difficult truth I had to accept about myself is that I often prioritize others’ needs over my own to the detriment of my well-being. It took me a long time to realize that constantly putting myself last didn’t make me a better friend or partner; it led to burnout and resentment. Accepting this truth has been a journey. I’ve had to learn that it’s okay to set boundaries and prioritize self-care, reminding myself that taking care of my own needs allows me to support others better in the long run. How about you?
