Self care isn’t just drinking water and going to sleep early. Self care is taking a break when things become overwhelming, saying no to things you do not want to do, allowing yourself to cry, asking for help from those around you, doing things that make you happy. 

Imagine dancing with them in front of large open windows with warm light streaming through, and soft music playing somewhere in the background. They giggle and smile at you, eyes shining with what can only be pure, unfiltered happiness and an easiness betraying their comfort in your arms.

Just a reminder that you can set boundaries even when someone is trying to do the right thing. Maybe they're being too affectionate and you feel suffocated. Maybe you need some alone time. Maybe you're just not ready for affection yet. People who care about you will respect this.

All I want is to take care of her.

To be able to come over anytime she just needs someone there. To be able to hold her, and make her feel safe. To offer comfort and to let her know she’s so incredibly special.

I want to make her comfort food and get her favourite drink. I want to pack her bag in the evening so she can stay in bed a few minutes longer in the morning. I want to give her my shirt or hoodie to wear, so she knows I’m always with her. I want to give her comfort with the smallest gestures, a hug just because, holding her hand when she’s next to me.

I want her to know she’s not alone, and that I would do absolutely anything for her. I want to make the bad days a little easier, and the good days even better <3
