self care isn't always pretty,
it's not always candles and a bathtub full of roses,
sometimes it's forcing yourself to get out of bed and dragging yourself,
sometimes it's the pep talk you give to yourself
or the quick cry in the corner.
sometimes it is convincing yourself to do all these things you should be doing but you have no will whatsoever,
sometimes it's cutting some ties no matter how precious they were,
sometimes it's the bitter medicine you need to give yourself.
self care isn't always pretty
but it's so worth it.
