Killing an Angel

Self care.

What is self care?

It's telling yourself you're beautiful because people won't always do it for you.

It's getting enough rest so you have enough energy for the day.

It's reminding yourself of the little things that bring the tiniest smile to your face.

It's knowing your limits and finding people who will be there for you as you are for them.

It's accepting compliments and giving them in return.

It's treating yourself to things like ice cream, despite your body. As long as it makes you happy.

It's distracting yourself from the negatives and finding ways to not let the thoughts consume you.

It's taking a break.

And it's reminding yourself that all of these things? You deserve them.

I've forgotten how to do this. I ended up starting my first year of high school, which became a challenge in itself. I didn't remind myself of these things, and I was- I am- suffering from it.
Please be patient with me, I promise I'll finish this book. But take it from me- you need to take care of yourself before everything collapses on you. I'm feeling slightly better now, but I'm trying to get myself into a better mindset before continuing any of my works.

I'll always be here if you want to talk, however. Just message me <3
