From Gullibility To Self-Love, Me Myself And My Peace.

Hello family, welcome to the second edition in week 44 and am happy to be participating in this contest because the topic itself is self intriguing and it's like an assignment for oneself.

This prioritizing of oneself wasn't what I started early, life lessons and experience later taught me in life how to prioritize myself, the me before would stay in places where I am not wanted, this same me would stay in friendships where I am treated less and probably would do anything to feel among, this same me would want to do everything to please others and more like get verifications from others about me, I sometimes think it was part of childishness because thinking about my foolishness now I am like how was I this gullible, lol! But don't blame me life happens and shits also happens so that we can learn from our own experience.

People casually just throw in this words "I choose my peace of mind" and you wouldn't even take it seriously but omoh those words holds water like it holds weight, for me I think how I prioritize myself for starters is choosing my peace always and it's not an option or something to bargain with, there was a time in school when one of my friend in my department started showing some dramas all in the name of she has a new friend and she feel like giving me the attitude she was giving, when I noticed what was happening me self withdrew because no be ontop my head she go practice celebrity lifestyle, I gave her space and distance so I could even focus on what brought me to school.

Another way I prioritize myself is by not going to places where am not invited or wanted, I respect myself enough to know that if you invited others and left me out of your list that means you don't want me there so even though I hear about that event from someone else I rather chuckle and stay back in my house than to go and disgrace myself, I also pick my friends not the other way round so if you feel you are doing my a favor by being friends with me I will advice you to think again because this girl gat no time for anybody that wants to feel important.

Is not every Hiii and Hello we see online or even in the road that we respond to, common I don't know you from anywhere and you are asking me how's the family? or where are you living? I think we have pass that era infact the security issues of the country have warrant us to be more security conscious, I am too engaged to be responding to just anyone who feels like to talk if you want to have my attention you earn it and I feel that's another way of prioritizing yourself. My boundaries are kind of simple but I don't spell it out loudly just Incase you aren't sharp to caught it I just let you over step so I can show you a U-turn, respect is sometimes earned not commanded so I feel when you respect yourself I will have no choice but to respect you.

I choose me always not minding whether you are happy with that choice or not, prioritizing myself has been so health and life driven, I have experienced peace and self respect from others because I know my worth I wouldn't allow you treat me less.

I love, honour and appreciate you all 🥰 thanks for visiting my blog.
