Do you ever feel like you don’t actually know how to take care of yourself? Like you’ve spent your whole life taking care of others- anticipating their needs, keeping the peace- that when it’s finally time to focus on you, you don’t even know where to start?
You’re not alone. For many people, especially those who grew up having to be responsible too early or who learned that love meant self-sacrifice, self-care can feel confusing, uncomfortable, or even selfish. No one ever taught you what your needs look like—only how to meet everyone else’s. Taking care of yourself isn’t about doing it perfectly. It starts small. Noticing your body. Listening to your emotions. Saying no. Asking, “What do I need right now?”—and believing that answer matters.
If this resonates, know that learning to care for yourself is a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned. You deserve care, just as much as you've given it.
