this week's topic: self care and heartbreak

hi guys! I hope you guys can understand me taking a week off. Honestly, life has been tough and busy the last few days. I've been so busy trying to take care of everyone else, that i've made myself feel absolutely insignificant.

Instead of documenting the positives or the positive actions of others, I'm going to expand on the importance of self care. I have so much empathy and love for other people that it mentally and physically ruins me. I would do absolutely anything for people as long as it makes them happy, which is my downfall as a person. Now, I don't want to try and be melancholy or sad here, but I loathe myself for it. I feel so much more than the average person, causing me to love and hurt more. Part of me knows that I will never be able to receive the love I give to others back. But, i never want to stop trying to give my all to people. This is where self care is important, I need to give myself the love I give to others. I honestly just don't know how to though. So, one step at a time, I tried doing the things I like. Things like: reading about our solar system, understanding historical events, and above all going outside. I know it seems tough in a depression, but please guys. Go outside and breathe that fresh air. That alone can do wonders for your mental health. I know it's hard, but I'm encouraging all of you guys to take care of yourselves. Take that day off of work. Lay in bed a bit longer. Go get that snack you were craving. Do all of it. You deserve to take care of yourself and love yourself the way you give love to others. I know for sure, I am trying to.

I challenge you guys to take extra extra good care of yourselves this week. Pamper yourselves and if you read this far, tell me all about it :)

Your personal hype woman,
