Have we actually comprehended that people with uterusโ literally just fucking bleed for a week?? And weโre expected to just do normal things??? Huh??
It is so helpful in feeling like you are not alone through life; even with so many loving people around me, love notes from myself are the best gift I can give and receive.
One of my favorite things to do is write notes to my future self. :) I will leave myself reminders to go back to in darker or more confusing times, tips on how to best care for myself in future heavy or emotional situations, or even just notes of encouragement. :)
Your unhealthy coping mechanisms are the reason you survived the traumatizing situations in your past; when youโre healing and creating new ones for yourself, donโt forget to show them grace and gratitude on their way out.
