Self gets started as a way to physically take care of yourself. It then evolved into taking care of your emotional wellbeing and even more so, the overall healing for women, people of color and more marginalized communities. Then why all of us? Are we still feeling like self care is just like a selfish act? Swell. Maybe you just call off dinner, decline an invite that your ex will be or even just say no to anything
I like to see cats as an ideal example of creatures that are constantly caring for themselves. They're licking themselves clean, they're stretching, they're taking care of themselves. They are constantly aware of their own needs as primary before they care for others. We see dogs which are always looking out for others and looking out for their master. And they have this desire to constantly care for others, constantly love others. But cats are creatures that are always looking to care for themselves first
