Care

 9 / 27 / 23

    Some days it is easy to forget the simple things, like water, food, and sleep. These are crucial necessities that seem like on certain days a tiresome chore. Then there are the ones that we crave so much that we are willing to do whatever it takes. For instance that warm embrace that makes your body melt and feel safe, and secure.  To be loved is the end goal. Have you ever stared at yourself in the mirror? Like just stare at the person, look closely. Today I looked, and what I saw was remarkable. The plum bags underneath my eyes share the stories of worries.  I saw such accomplishment. Each pore, each eyelash, each breath, and every follicle of my being has weathered storms. I came out of each one, ready for the next. With each storm, you must repair the damage. 

My advice...

Don't hide, embrace the wreckage, embrace the baggage you carry. Each day doesn't have to be a novel or adventure. Some days you can lay back and just be. Allow yourself to listen to what your body needs. Can be simply a day of rest, or a night out. It's your choice, but remember to listen to yourself.
