Keep taking time for yourself,
the world can wait.
The noise, the demands,
the endless voices calling your name,
they will still be there tomorrow.

Let the dishes sit in the sink tonight.
Leave the bed unmade.
Order takeout instead of cooking,
and don’t feel guilty for it.
You are allowed to rest.

Sit in the quiet.
Wrap yourself in a blanket
and watch the rain slide down the window.
Play that one song you’ve had on repeat
and let it cradle you like a friend.

Peel away the heaviness,
the masks you’ve worn,
the versions of you
that were built for survival.
You don’t need them now.

Keep resting,
keep pausing,
let yourself cry at 2AM over nothing,
keep being gentle with the parts of you
that needs you.

One day,
you will wake up and feel light.
You will look in the mirror and finally recognize again
the person staring back.

Keep taking time for yourself,
in coffee sips, in long showers,
in choosing silence when you need it.

Keep taking time for yourself,
again and again,
until you’re you again.
