a lesson i've learnt the hard way

don't listen to anyone who tells you to put other people's wants and needs before yours... they don't know what they're talking about. You are the single most important person in your life to the exclusion of everyone else... you know why? because if u are happy... only then are u even remotely capable of bringing love, trust and care to anyone else's life. its not about being selfish.. its about taking care of yourself...
i've made the mistake of allowing my self worth be coloured by what other's feel and think about me.. if they like me.. think im awesome company.. think i look good... then i feel im on top of the world.. and when i'm alone.. not the center of everyone's attention... i feel like crap...
not anymore...

It's a lesson well learnt.. the world can wait.

i disagree this completely. U may get angry if anyone disagrees ur point in the first place. But i'm bold person if i feel it is not acceptable i'll say it directly...

U can't take decisions based on few things happened in ur life...Analyze it in detail...Let me know ur progress....

that's absolutely true. there's no point trying to put everyone and everything ahed of yourself. in the end you're the one who's going to be the loser.]

Hey Taruna..I'm Ishita's friend,Tivoli..Just randomly came across your blog!

I think it's extremely bold and "Staright from the heart"..It's sumthin we all go thru but what really matters is what we've learnt from it and how much of it we really carry forward with us! I can totally realte to it!
