Look Out For Number One?

Who comes first; you, or others? I believe that it is perfectly fine to look out for yourself. I think that the best way to live is in the happy medium. Being too concerned with others can lead to neglecting yourself and your needs, and can become annoying over time. Being oblivious to others wants and needs is rude and can make you a very selfish person. I think that this way of making decisions and living your daily life will make your life more enjoyable. Not only with others like to be around you more, but you will feel better about yourself and the way you have chosen to live your life to the fullest.

Journal Entry of the Worst Day of the Year

December 24, 1843
Today was a horrid day. Nothing better than other days of this past year. Not that i didn't see this coming, Christmas Eve is as always full of nagging donation searchers and loud and unnecessary "Merry Christmas's". But as always i turn them away with a deserved "Humbug!". Sadly this doesn't seem to work on my too-cherry-for-his-own-good nephew. The boy doesn't understand that him and his precious love can be as happy as they want, but all i want is to keep my money to myself. That would do just fine for me. I went through my usual drab routine. Still putting up with my complaining employee who constantly bugs me for days off. But not getting too out of character i will do nothing less than be sure he is there bright and early the next morning.
