Life goals

And so, I'm working on convincing myself of something. But every time I put it to words, I feel some other part of me shriek and recoil, telling me that it's too selfish, too self-important.

And this might sound unbearably trite, or self-abrogating, but I think the best possible thing I can do with my life is make Light and the other people I love happy and safe and, well, loved.
(Drumroll) and the best possible way to do that might be to figure out how to be happy myself.

Gah. I've never bought into the 'you can't love other people if you don't love yourself'. I feel perfectly capable of not loving myself and don't think it impinges upon my ability to love others. But, this is different. Or it is the same thing, just from a different angle.

Seriously, I know this year will contain its defeats, all years do, but I'm almost ready to admit I have a good feeling about it.
