Self care has been on my list quite a long time now, a long long time actually.
And it seems as long as I don't take it seriously enough I will be confronted with situations that help me realize how much I need it again and again... And again.
The thing is that everybody around me is just addressing me with requests or complaints.
And that's not necessarily because they are bad, self centered or anything else considered to be negative.
For some it might be their young age that makes them so needy that they cannot else than request everything and ask for anything, simply because they cannot do it themselves.
For others it might be the comfort of knowing that I will do it, that I will not deny their request.
For some it might be the nature of their character to complain constantly about everything, for others it might be stress that is pressing on their hearts, asking to be released.
I watched a wonderful video of Jada Smith talking about being a mother and wife and how important self care is. How important it is to make ourselves happy because otherwise we will make other people responsible to make us happy, which they will not and cannot do.
It is our job to make ourselves happy and love ourselves so that we can radiate this love and happiness onto our loved ones.
I am about to turn 30 and I feel like that is going to be a big turning point in my life, I am at an adult point in life, I matured into a mother of two...
And I think at this point in life, my main job is to learn to take care of myself and to realize that I am a loved one, deserving love and attention myself.
