'You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm' is something I wish I'd heard a LOT sooner in my life than 2019 but it's a useful thing to keep in mind.
As I take better care of myself, I often worry about growing cold. I don't actually think I will, but every time I end up putting myself first I have that fear.
It's very strange to go from someone who had no concept of boundaries or putting yourself first, to someone who actually takes good care of herself.
I often just want to help everyone who needs it but sometimes people ask too much of me and I have to tell them no, especially if we don't even know each other
