self care isnt always lush bath bombs and $20 face masks. sometimes, it’s going to bed at 8pm or letting go of a bad friend. its forgiving yourself for not meeting your impossible standards and understanding you are worth it, nonetheless. self care isnt always luxury, but a mean for survival.

Sometimes it’s drinking water. Sometimes it’s washing your hair. Sometimes it’s taking care of a task that’s stressing you out so you can get it off your plate. And sometimes it’s remembering to take your meds and staying home all day.
