I feel privileged to have the time and resources to devote to my wellness, I think often about how much time I spend going to the gym, cooking nurtitous meals, spending quality time with my friends, and engaging in hobbies regularly like yoga, wheelthrowing, and reading. 

 

I feel sad for my friends who do not have the same resources that I do and cannot care for themselves in the same way-- it takes so much time and money. 

 

I hope that we start to create a society that recognizes the importance of self-care by prioritizing our self-care above all else, and I hope that my writing provides one potential mechamism for viewing the self as it endures that journey. ​
