if there is one thing I have learned from loving the broken

it is to never use it as an excuse to stop loving myself

to not neglect my own damaged heart in hopes of repairing another's

it's like how on an airplane they tell you to put on your own oxygen mask first and then assist others in need

because it is impossible to save someone else while you are also suffocating
