Make Time for This Loveable Self

I always chide myself for not making enough time for myself and not pampering myself enough after having to fight and give more to others. To what extent can a person's self-worth be put aside just to prioritise others for the sake of so many reasons? I have to learn to stop in between time and make quality time for myself. Take my everyday routine for instance. Every night, I have my 'me time' when I can read and listen to songs, accompanied by a cup of hot green tea. It is kind of like a training I put myself through almost every night. I know that by reading, it is so much more entertaining and enriching than watching tv. Besides, I don't have a tv (not mine), so yeah! And with the little things that I have, I make the most out of it. Every now and then, I see people going on a budgeted vacay and some can afford more luxurious ones. I think I'll just stick to within the country as for now due to my constantly low savings. At times, I have to use a magnifying glass to look for 10 cents. Despite the things that I have lesser than other people, I cannot afford to make my life miserable because we cannot compare our lives to others all the time. So, to save for my next vacay, I'll have to sacrifice something in order to save more money. I've given myself a challenge for this week where I'll go vegetarian. Reason being, I ate too much meat last weak which resulted in tummy pain and stuff. Practise moderation, CHL! I am! It's just that with him, he's like a rubbish bin. He has the obligation to lick the plates clean so it's worth his money, I guess. So, in a way, that makes me the small rubbish bin as well. Yeah, so I haven't been eating meat except yesterday when the boy must have missed out on my 'Don't put meat in my watan hor'. So I had to swallow those few pieces of meat. For me, eating more vegetables simply means that I'm fuelling my body with plant-based stuff. I want a healthy and not-so-out-of-shape body. That's all. It has, to a certain degree, something to do with digesting food that comes from another living things. Animals! I'm not so noble in that sense. I still eat meat and stuff but not much, really. I think of myself more than I do for the animals actually hahaha. As no one will be loving this body and self more than I do, I'm in full responsibility of making it healthy and in good shape (I hope!). Start with the little things!
