Being SELFLESS in your SELFISH years

I know such a weird title, but one thing I have always struggled with is selfishness. I think it took me being in a selfish relationship, and being selfish in a relationship to see what an ugly trait it is. I desire greatly to be a selfless person. So when I read things about "oh you're in your 20's those are your selfish year" I cannot stand that. Then I started thinking about it. These are our selfish years, I have no husband to tend too, no boyfriend, no children, I don't even have a dog I am responible for. So during my season where I can do whatever I want with my time, I want to give it to others to help. The way to be selfless in your selfish years, is to give back.
