Shattered Hopes From Last Night...

A note to myself and you.

I too was full of light, love, and happy endings.

I too believed. I believed in myself. I believed in my decision, and I believed in forever.

I fought long and hard. I fought until tables turned in my favor.

Life was good for a bit, but I didn’t know my fairy tale didn’t actually exist.

Little did I know my decision was going to change my life right before my eyes.

I had no idea it was going to change my life upside down in a matter of weeks.

The struggle within myself, questioning my ability, my existence, and my worth

led me to a battle against myself.

When that battle finally ended, I discovered how much self-care was needed,

how much I’ve neglected myself,

my body,

my health,

my mind.

How many times do we have to put ourselves last and everyone else before us to realize...

we too need the same amount of attention and love.

After reading this I hope your healing gets better and you can grow with me.

We all deserve the love we have for others for ourselves first and then for others.

H E A L I N G

Let this process be a long one

You’ve caused so much pain to yourself

You should give yourself a chance

to heal

to grow

You should make up for all the lost years

That you’ve spent making others feel better

This t i m e

it’s yours.

H e a l a n d G r o w.

Do you not deserve to give your all to yourself?

Do you deserve to shape yourself into the best version of yourself?

You deserve to put your mark on this work

so the answer is

y e s.

A Letter to Healers on the Path of Self-Care

You deserve this more than anything.

You deserve happiness and you deserve the world.

This is your time.

Don’t let anyone tell you how selfish you are for putting yourself first.

Taking care of yourself can only make you a better person.

So please, take care of yourself for yourself.
