Questions & Answers about Para mí, la felicidad no es perfecta si ignoro mi tristeza.

Why is it para mí and not para yo?

In Spanish, after most prepositions (like para, de, a, con, sin), you use object pronouns, not subject pronouns.

• Subject pronoun: yo (I) – used as the subject of a verb
• Prepositional/object pronoun: mí (me) – used after prepositions

So you say:

• Para mí, de mí, sin mí, a mí
  but
• Yo soy feliz. (yo is subject)

That’s why para yo is incorrect here; para mí = for me / in my view.
