"Tbh (To be honest), I never liked the terms self-care and self-love because they felt so self-serving. I was also so anxious of making it all about me, of ending up selfish. But as in anything, too much of something is dangerous. Even selflessness. Mine especially distorted into reduction. I have reduced myself to the point that I believed my existence is not necessary. It was only this year that I began appreciating myself again. Only this year when I remembered I have value since God chose to make me at all!"
