depriving yourself of anything you need won’t help you in any way. it will only leave you feeling uncomfortable, stressed, hungry or even sick. you’re not making yourself stronger by denying your needs. needing anything is not a sign of weakness or selfishness. it’s not morally wrong to have needs, even if they are different than others. you don’t have to earn things, your life should not be about self-sacrifice. this is not martyrdom. you don’t have to suffer so much to prove you need anything, or to earn anything. this is your life and your body. don’t be ashamed of meeting its basic needs.
