I let my body matter before it became a problem

Dear Delyara, That is the kind of self-love I am trying to trust more. Not the symbolic kind. The timely kind. I noticed what my body needed and responded before things turned into a bad mood, a snapping moment, a total depletion, or some dramatic sign that would make care easier to justify. I answered earlier. That feels simple. It is not simple for me. I think earlier kindness is one of the bravest forms of love I know. And I am learning it slowly.
