I Am What I Am...

So I was talking to my man Dre bout what people doing for the holidays and it came up in the topic that I care more about family than msot people who know, that's who I am. When he first said it, I didn't know how to take it. After I thought on it for a while, it was sadly (well not sadly) true. Meaning, while I take a deep appreciation for trying to keep in contact and show my face and living and trying to achieve things for my family and close friends, everyone else mainly concern themselves with themselves first and than their family and friends. This has been one of my achilles heal since I could remember. While I try so much to help and please those close to me, I more than often sacrifice my well being in the process. What's crazy is, I know that's me but no matter how hard I try it seems impossible for me to change. Impossible is nothing right, well the day I master this art of concerning myself with just that, myself, I have no idea where I'll end up. It's simply hard for me to be selfish, but if in doing that I can get to another level of "success," than I guess I will need to practice day by day how to be selfish.
