The First "Yes" to Myself

Dear Delyara, For years, I said "yes" to every favor, every extra shift, and every person who drained my battery. Today, I said "yes" to a nap. I said "yes" to a walk in the park alone. I said "yes" to my own peace of mind. It’s a small victory, but my soul feels like it’s finally breathing again. I am no longer at the bottom of my own priority list.
