on self love + care:

1. “I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.” (i know i deserve more, michelle k)

2. “Don’t forget to love her. The little girl you used to be. Perhaps She lies within you. Untucked. Sleeping peacefully.” (nurture, kiana llanos)

3. “These days I wake up crying

holding myself in my arms

rocking myself like a mother

repeating

it’s all right- i’m here.” (rocking, nuela archer)

4. “There’s a little girl in my head & she screams ‘unloved! unloved! unloved!’ every moment of my life (@star-eaters)

"There’s a woman in my head now & she holds the little girl and says “I will take care of you and we will be alright” when the little girl screams and together they are learning how to trust each other” (@antidecay)
