Nothing I appreciate more than living alone. Being able to sit in silence. Choose whether to cook or starve. Lie in bed all day with curtains drawn. A privilege I don’t take for granted, esp after a weekend surrounded by people and needing alone time to recharge..
I think not having kids is one of the best calls I’ve made for myself in my adult life. Being able to make big life decisions and only think about myself is so liberating!
as women we need to give ourselves soft and sweet things. silk robes. warm flower tea. a homemade sweet treat. oil massages. evenings wrapped in a soft blanket with a good book. candlelight at night. sweetness and softness is medicine.

1. walking around naked

4. not having to talk
