π In 2024, I thought a lot about caring and my selfish soul
To care for my partner, I have to care for the selfish core of myself. I care for it by spending too much money in cafes because I love someone else bringing me coffee. I care for it by honouring the fact that Iβm sad that I will always be the one to change the bed sheets. I care for it by admitting to others that itβs hard and that Iβm struggling, even if that might make them feel sad. It's about choosing not to become another martyr in a line of selfless, uncomplaining female relatives. To be open and feed my selfish soul.
