Hahaha the tone of your reply was flipped upside down with the “sorry but fuck you”. I like it though. You need a little bit of that.

Self love requires you to not do anything you will knowingly regret doing or hold a grudge about, even if the favor is not returned. I love to help others but if it’s something I don’t want to do and don’t feel someone really absolutely needs me for, I don’t do it. And I’m nice about it.

Yesterday I some tourist came up to me and asked if he could use my mini guitar to take a picture. The old me would have awkwardly said ok but resented him inside because there are too many tourists and nothing really to see, they’ve all been tricked by the guide books and I don’t trust them people with my guitar which is very important to me. But I’ve been working on this recently. So I just said “no” and smiledand he walked away. It felt so good!

I still go out of my way to help people! But not if it’s not coming from a pure desire to help.
