Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

Do something JUST FOR YOU.

Whatever makes you feel better, more positive. If it's reading a book, taking a bath, riding a bike, hanging out with a freind, going to a coffee shop and watching others, taking a nap. Whatever it is.

And, about your statement (or quote?) that life is too short to live it just for you: If you don't live it for yourself, what's the point? If you don't live it in a way that makes YOU happy, you won't enjoy it and people will not want to live it with you.

At least, that's what I have found. Living for others is usually what got us here in the first place. We have to live it for ourselves first, then live WITH others.

I totally agree with everything you've said, and thank you for putting it so well.

Thank you. I was a little afraid I was pushing the point a little too much. But this is exactly the reason I'm currently in counseling. I tried live for someone else, one that I do love and has ever been abusive. And you know where that got me? It put me in a situation where my unhappiness was enough to seriously consider suicide. The only thing that has changed for me is that I'm seeing that I have to learn to make MYSELF happy.

*cough* um, yes, it's something I'm very passinate about at the moment.

This is something that I had just recently learned myself...
