It is okay to want your own happiness. Itโs okay to care about yourself the most. You are not obligated to sit there and smile and swallow every bit of shit everyone heaps on you. You are more than furniture, youโre more than window dressing, youโre not their shiny toy. Youโre human, and you have the right to say โThat was shitty of youโ. You have a right to protest your own mistreatment and set boundaries for respectful interactions. The rest of the world doesnโt realize you have this right, and they will act offended and appalled when you exercise it, but it is yours.
