when the pain meds aren't kicking in
somehow the poor cops who we were told are simply too understaffed and underpaid because of Woke to deal with 'rampant rising crime' have found the strength to beat the shit out of college students across the whole country for peacefully saying "divest from the country killing innocent palestinians in the tens of thousands"
whatever you have seen today, whatever you have witnessed today, whatever has made you go out of your character — you will choose to be kind to yourself. you will be nice to yourself. you will treat yourself with respect and compassion. you will be empathetic with yourself. you can react and respond to whatever has stressed you today but you are not going to let it control you, making you say or do things to yourself that aren’t healthy. you will choose to have love for yourself.
it doesn’t matter what you are going through right now or what you are currently experiencing — you deserve to treat yourself with kindness. your body deserves it, your mind deserves it, you truly deserve it.
