A Selfish Day

Every now and then, I just have those days when I wish people would
gather around me and say all sorts of nice things about me. It's
exceedingly selfish of me and I know it, but today is just one of those
days. I just want to be made to feel that I matter. It's all kind of
stupid, I know, and there are probably some reading this who feel I
should get yelled at for daring to want validation, for thinking that
validation is important, for wanting validation when I really should be
thinking about how bad they have it, and so on. Go ahead and yell
at me. But this is how I'm feeling and I needed to get it out of my
system.
