Dear kids: sometimes, self-care is ridiculously unsexy. It's cleaning your filthy bathroom after weeks of ignoring it. It's washing your bedsheets and vacuuming your floors. It's forcing yourself to take a shower and brush your teeth. When that temporary motivation strikes, RIDE THAT WAVE as far as you possibly can. It's the kindest thing you can do for yourself sometimes.

“How did you cope with your childhood?”

I searched in my mind,

for the deepest,

darkest room I could find,

I hid inside,

and watched as my life,

slowly,

pass me by.

-Hania Lín/ “Spoiled Milk”
