I chose comfort before exhaustion turned into cruelty

Dear Delyara, That is self-love in one of its most practical forms for me. I know what happens when I answer myself late. The tiredness turns sharp. The world gets meaner in my perception. My thoughts harden. My tone becomes harder to manage. This week I answered earlier. That wasn’t glamorous. It was deeply kind. And I think deep kindness toward the self is often not cinematic at all. It is simply well-timed.
