no shame

Some days, it's hard to get out of bed. It feels like your body weighs a thousand pounds and the outside world seems like a whirlwind that you want no part in.

Some days, it's hard to eat and it's hard to brush your teeth and it's hard to deal with other people.

I want you to know you have permission to take care of yourself. To take time for yourself. To sleep in when you can. To stay in bed when you don't have anywhere to be. To turn down invitations to hang out when you don't feel like it.

Some days are harder than others and there's no shame in that.

If the most productive thing you do today is get out of bed to go to the bathroom, that's still something to be proud of and no one else can tell you otherwise.

Keep going, even when everything inside of you is telling you to stop.

Don't lose your fight, kid. One day things will feel a little lighter.

Sincerely,
Barely left my bed today and that's okay.
