🌈 As sad as it is, in a world that wants you to spread yourself thin in service of others and the capitalist machine, caring for yourself has become a radical act. When the world often forces you to keep calm and carry on to get your deliverables done, it can be very difficult to make time for yourself.

🙇‍♀️ Our current cultural climate also promotes unhealthy levels of guilt, shame, ignorance toward one’s own needs, detachment from feeling our feelings, and putting all this aside to take care of yourself is somehow ‘selfish’ or ‘self-indulgent.’

😭 This framing ultimately harms everyone. If we cannot take care of ourselves, we cannot effectively care for others, anyway - and this causes isolation and division in our society.

✊ We must make a change! In the words of Black lesbian activist Audre Lorde, “caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” We have been thinking a lot about #Visibility of marginalised communities this #PrideMonth. We need radical self-preservation, and to keep ourselves thriving, in order for us to have true #Visibility and #Freedom!

🕊️ Make sure you take a moment today, and every day, to take care of yourself.
