Self care is not indulgence

Self care is not easy in a world that judges you by your productivity and your ability to be an island.

Self care can bring up old trauma and even somatic flashbacks. But you have to decide: do I want to be driven by my pain? Or do I want to drive?

Self care is not just an act of indulgence. Self care means loving yourself enough to do the upkeep, to keep yourself going. We're all just ghosts driving meat suits. ‘Might as well do the maintenance to keep them running.
