your past self was doing the best it could. You know more now, and in the future, you’ll know even more! You grow each day! Don’t hate the past versions of you for not knowing what you know now.

I am getting antsy

I have the flu and bronchitis. The kitchen sink leaked too. 2/3 of our house is now under construction

This is the water And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

Do it scared but please don't do it hungry. Please don't do it dehydrated. It's gonna make it so much scarier. Please.

I’m so sorry it hurts. It wasn’t fair, what happened to you, and you don’t deserve to feel like that. But you’re not always going to be in pain. Better days are coming dear. You will Heal and be okay one day.

you’re allowed to take up space. you’re allowed to have fun. you’re allowed to live freely and deliciously. you’re allowed to live now.

gentle reminder: you deserve to live again. stop abandoning yourself. you’ve already gone through enough. you have permission to be kind to yourself and start again as a new person. you deserve love and everything else you think you don’t deserve. don’t hurt yourself any more.

The bright side of all this water damage and needing to tear out all the carpets is that I have donated 3 boxes of stuff, set two more boxes aside to e recycle, Moved furniture to the back half of the house where it will go after the repairs, thrown out a ton of junk/clutter and was finally able to get to the 3 large windows and apply tint for my migraines. Spring cleaning came a little late, but it feels like a breath of fresh air.

also the new sage bushes are blooming with all the rain we are getting and it smells AMAZING

The downside is it's really expensive and we can't use the back half of the house so no tub, Rosie has to use spray for her skin issues instead of baths so she's back in the Cone of Shame and not happy

Stop delaying joy until life looks a certain way. You're allowed to be happy while you're figuring things out.

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

*through gritted teeth* i will be patient with and kind to myself. i will be present with myself in the everyday. i will allow myself to be comforted by the world immediately available to me. i will not abandon myself when i feel scared. i will trust myself to know how to care for myself. i will let a better life slowly seep into mine so i still recognize it as my own.
