sometimes i forget how many times iāve picked myself off the floor, how many times iāve washed away smudgy makeup and put myself to bed. how many times iāve said no to something unhealthy. said yes to something good. how many times iāve treated myself with kindness and patience. i forget how many times iāve tended to wounds and made peace with my own anger. if i was taking care of a body that was not my own, iād believe i was doing everything i could. so hereās to remembering that iām doing the best i can.
