But that is precisely why I must write: because it is selfish. Because I give parts of myself away all day long, that I deserve to keep some for myself, too. I’m going to choose to write, because it’s selfish and it’s invigorating and it’s relaxing, and yes, for me, it’s self-care. … More Self-Care Sunday #3
