"The tales and misadventures of a super sweet girl making her way through a cavity filled world. Watch her thwart life's dangers with her special blend of sass, guileless wit, self deprecation, and a giant dash of glitter. A magical, frosting-covered metamorphosis of self-discovery and reclamation!" I didn't write this about myself...I'm not a TOTAL asshole!
Only you can define what self-care is for you. Only you know what makes you feel safe and secure and accepted and strong and lovely. Only you know what makes you feel alive.
I completely agree that self care IS what you determine it to be, there is no arguing that concept. However, I think (with regard to comments on your new years resolution post) when you are constantly having financial issues/asking for money/talking about not being able to afford housing/medication - people see "tattoos and piercings" as a frivolity. Alot of people feel REALLY good when they shop and buy new things. Feeling good could be considered "self care". I don't think anyone here cares what you spend your money on....unless you are then asking them for/eluding to needing/complaining about not having...money. That...was the point.
Seeing those goals every day will be a great reminder...but did you actually intend to write "NOT" hiding from the world?
