SELF CARE REMINDER

hey if ur reading this and ur in a bad spot mentally or anything i hope u feel better soon and have a good day

do the hobby. the one you keep saying you'll get back to when things settle down. things might not settle down. do it now

you are beautiful and i don't just mean on the outside

you can't give from empty. and you're allowed to take care of yourself first, before you take care of everyone else

the stuff you've been carrying quietly, the things you haven't told anyone: that takes real strength. more than you give yourself credit for

look at the stars tonight if you can. we are very small and the universe is very big and somehow that is both terrifying and weirdly comforting

have you ever listened to a podcast about something completely random that you know nothing about? just pick one. it's a good way to forget yourself for an hour

eat something proper today. not as a reward or a punishment, just because your body is doing a lot of work and it runs on actual fuel

write down one thing you're grateful for today. 'my socks are warm' counts. writing it down makes it stick in a way that just thinking it doesn't

find one thing you did well this month, even something small. i promise it's there. sit with it for a minute

you are doing your best in a genuinely complicated world, and that counts. forgive yourself for the rest

genuine question: what actually makes you feel loved? have you ever properly sat with that?

look at old photos that make you happy. your brain forgets good days faster than bad ones, but they still happened

you did something today, even if it was small. acknowledge it. your brain needs to hear you recognise your own wins

your feelings are real even when they don't make logical sense. they don't need to make sense to matter

no one has their life completely figured out. some people just perform it better. don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides

text someone who makes you feel good, just 'hey, thinking of you'. it makes both of you feel better
