self care is background music, blowing smoke out the window in giddy silence
self care is snacks and eating whatever you want (while logging it in your food tracker)
self care is clear blue sky walks with sunglasses and more music, but closer to your eardrums
self care is taking big deep breaths; so deep you can feel them fill your lungs
self care is watching birds watch you
self care is having seconds and knowing when enough is enough
self care is all-day pajamas, anything goes tv marathon
self care is sunshine and laughter,
a solitary afternoon in your own company
no obligations, but to yourself
to live the human experience
emotional self-reliance
freedom – no fear
Nina Simone-timbred, blue floodlight vocals
and jazz and good pop music that will surely
break your heart.
