I love me first. Selfless is one who withdraws deeper into the well and fills his cup so fully that I no longer thirst and may hydrate others. Be kind to you, be aware and humble, know yourself fully and progress happens with every tocking tick, no surrender is excusable if a moment has passed, today is long, just for a moment seems fitting, a habit forms and must be replaced by another. Patience and CBT, a desiring to embody in action what shame’s focus assures me is not virtuous or beneficial. Hedonism gives way and shatters against the walls of my will to have peace and hope replace … this.
