Eating some of my words

In 2009, I talked about being more selfish. I have spent the majority of my life taking care of other people and not taking care of myself. I haven't totally been true to that. Old habits die hard. I still find myself trying to accommodate others at the expense of my self. Even now I am dealing with a situation where, I won't tell someone how a truly feel because I don't want to offend or hurt anyone's feelings. In the mean time I am hurting, feeling frustrated. I'm sparing others feelings and not taking care of my own mental and emotional state.

Why can't I get this right?!
