nail-in-the-wall:

“Sometimes it’s better to be selfish. We exhaust ourselves for others every day. We need to take some time for ourselves from time to time.”

- nail-in-the-wall (I’m seriously drained emotionally today. It’s been a non-stop, revolving door of customers in the thrift store I work in. Don’t get me wrong, I love people completely and my job too. But I just need a break from social interaction. I’m taking some time for myself today. Until I’m out of this mood, I don’t want to talk to anyone. Mental health really matters.)
