self-care

I used to think being strong meant never slowing down. Now I know it also means knowing when to rest and breathe. I don’t need to prove anything anymore. I’m allowed to take care of myself without guilt.

I'll realize I don't have to break myself to justify rest. I stop waiting to be exhausted, overwhelmed, or burned out before slowing down. Rest becomes part of my life, not a reward at the end of suffering. My body and mind finally feel heard.

I need to choose myself more. I've helped so many people, but my own needs kept getting pushed aside. This year, put myself first without feeling bad about it. I matter, too.

God took my best friend. He was my best friend for 16 years. I’ve been so confused. He was an organ donor. He saved countless lives by dying. He shaped my life more than any other person who I have met on earth merely by living. I’m grateful. I love him so much. I love God so much and I’m so...

Please help me. I'm feeling so overwhelmed, overworked and burnt out. Work politics, bullying, trauma and darkness have utterly exhausted me, and every time I feel I'm coming up for air, there's someone else who needs my love and support.

I need to let go of the heaviness of carrying too many roles at once. I've been everything for everyone, and somewhere along the way, I forgot to be there for myself. It's okay to slow down and breathe. I don't have to hold the world together alone. Let myself rest without guilt.

Please pray for peace for me, and for me to put Jesus first.
