I will remind myself to call the babysitter in the morning, buy dish soap, call the dentist, and respond to the work email, all in about 25 seconds. When I should be sleeping.
"Can I just sleep with you?"
I've been where you are. I was there, and I lost myself 1,000 times. But—I'm here to tell you—I've made it to the other side.
So much more good can come from being kind to yourself and others. After all, we are all just doing our best.
