Trigger warning: self-harm
When do I take really good care of myself?
When do I make sure I’ve showered? When do I tuck myself in to bed? When do I give myself grace? When do I feed myself and drink hot cups of green tea? When do I brush my teeth? When do I wash my face and apply moisturizer? When do I lotion my body and feel okay in my own skin? When do I take deep breaths and breathe in peace? When do I put on clean, safe clothes?
When I look down and see these lines. These lines I put on my own body. These thin, neat, red lines. These lines drawn across my thigh by my own hand.
Only then can I find it within me to take good care of myself. Someone has to.
Hope this finds you well,
