Think About Yourself "First"

We grew up hearing that “good people put others first.”

That kindness means saying yes, even when your heart

whispers no.

That to love others, you must shrink yourself — your voice,

your rest, your dreams.

Somewhere between being praised for being selfless and

guilted for taking a break, we forgot how to take care of the

one person who lives with us through every season — ourselves.
