For the Love of.......Me

ME. Me is the person I wake up with in the morning, the person I have to pull away from the pillow. Me pushes the snooze butter four of five times before consciousness begins to win the battle. Me gets up in the morning, eats breakfasts, gets dressed and goes to work. Sometimes me decides to put on make-up, other times all natural will do. Me works all day, then goes to the gym in the evening. Maybe me will pick up a quick dinner after a nice work out, or go home and try to check emails, or go see a loved one, lover or friend for a little while just to get some "these are the people me chooses to love time in." Me gets home and stays up trying to check emails, or thinking through the days events, the days problems or how me wishes this or that could have gone differently. Me is the person I see when I look in the mirror everyday, the only person I have to answer to, the only person who has constantly been on my team.

We all have a me. But me is the person who we treat the worst. We rely on the acceptance, desires, wants and needs of others to overpower and overshadow the needs of me. Me has been there from day one, so we take his/her presence for granted. We don't show the love that we should because it is more important in many instances for me to take a backseat to what I want to do. and I is selfish. I want a warm body to lay next to at night. I want you to think like I think, and act like I want you to act. I will sacrifice me just so he or she won't feel bad, and I won't hurt their feelings, or for him or her to like me or because I want that job, and that promotion, and that house, and that car and that life. But what about me?

Me sits back and I just keep on going. But me is the one that is getting hurt, because me is the one I see everyday in the mirror and looks deeply with those honest eyes and without saying a word speaks volumes. And I understand, but when I turn away from the mirror it's like I forget about me. What about me?

Me just says be real. Me knows the wavering of people and the type of disappointment and pain this life can offer due to the actions of others, but me also knows the hurt, because we I hurt, me hurts too. And me sees all the decisions, and hears all the thoughts that rumbles loudly on a daily basis. Me understands the selfish rationality that makes us choose the easy thing as opposed to the right thing for.....ME.

But at the end of the day, me understands that this life is short. It is only a vapor. Me knows that the best rewards comes from the greatest sacrifices. Me know that those sacrifices are difficult, and uncomfortable and painful. Me has always been the #1 fan. So instead of I wanting them to love me. How about we all do it For the Love of......ME!!!!
