Confused??!??!??

I hate it when the principles I have don't match up with the ones that I want. I really want to be selfish right now, think of my own sanity, and what I need to be happy. Every time I try to, however, I can't help but think of what everyone else needs. I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place and I have no idea which way to go next. Either way involves risk and consequences. I'm very confused.
