If you’re struggling, you deserve to make self-care a priority. Whether that means lying in bed all day, eating comfort food, crying, sleeping, rescheduling plans, finding an escape through a good book or doing nothing at all — give yourself permission to put your healing first. Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, and today, whatever you do, let it be enough. Feel your feelings, breathe, and be gentle with yourself. Acknowledge that you’re doing the best you can to cope and survive. And trust that during this time of struggle, it’s enough.

‘How did you know that you were meant to be a healer?’

Because I kept falling in love with broken people.

‘Then why are you alone?’

Because I’m broken too so I’m falling in love with myself to get a taste of my own medicine.
