i. I told a girl she was beautiful and that she should go easy on herself today why can’t I tell myself the same thing ii. My friend told me she has depression I hugged her while she cried and told her she would be okay why can’t I believe that for myself iii. I became an online listener for people who have mental illnesses and spent hours convincing them they are good enough why can’t I convince myself iv. I stayed on the phone to convince my friend not to self harm for five hours telling him that it's okay to be kind to yourself over and over why can’t I tell myself that v. I spend so much time saving other’s lives why can’t I remember to save my own?

Saving Other's Lives

I love you. You're beautiful, it's going to be okay, you are good enough, and it is okay to be kind to yourself. Take some time for you today.
