“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.”
Sometimes you need to remind yourself that you were the one who carried you through the heartache. You are the one who sits with the cold body on the shower floor, and picks it up. You are the one who feeds it, who clothes it, who tucks it into bed, and you should be proud of that. Having the strength to take care of yourself when the world is trying to bleed you dry, that is the strongest thing in the universe.
take a second to do something kind for yourself today. it doesn’t have to be something big. you can paint your nails, or see a friend, or cuddle up in a blanket for a few minutes. if you don’t have time for any of those things, try to do something kind for someone else. hold a door, or give a compliment, or pay for someone else’s meal. you don’t have to do something huge to make yourself feel good. the little things may not always be remembered, but they are the ones that add value.
