It feels so good to be thought of as special in the eyes of our loved ones, and provides a temporary boost to the ego. A simple reason why more often than not, we forget ourselves for the sake of our loved ones, but in the end when we can no longer afford to do something more for them, to feel important, to feel needed then this is the time we realize that we have been neglecting ourselves for too long. Oftentimes, we fulfill our purpose in life but unfulfilled to live our lives to the fullest. We're dying to earn lots of money to provide our loved ones a better quality of life; but in the process, it's slowly killing us till we find ourselves inside a coffin ... unhappy... discontented. And not because, we're no longer on earth but because we didn't do so much for ourselves ... to have a break ... to appreciate and enjoy each day while we're still alive.
"Courageous--that's how you see me; Successful--that's how you believe in me; Happy--that's what you expect of me; but... Emptiness--that's what is inside of me."
(An excerpt from quotes about emptiness)
