Having (more Than One) Invisible Illness Can Just Be So F**king Draining At Times. Today Is One Of Those

Message of the day:

You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to say no. You are allowed to put yourself first. Your first responsibility in your life is caring for yourself. Sometimes that means doing the laundry, other times it’s taking a shower, or sometimes its canceling plans and taking some time to sleep and heal. 

Your physical and emotional health are undeniably linked. Just as you should not be expected to carry on as normal when your body is compromised, you should not expect yourself to ignore emotional pain or sickness. Treat your body and mind with kindness, no matter how small. You matter, your happiness and health matter. Fighting doesn’t mean you can’t rest, in fact, it makes it more important.

I think I just found my favourite Calvin and Hobbes panel ever. Or at least the one that resonates with me the most. #hesrightyouknow #somethingsareblackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/B38U0zihf51UJ_2JGtf39fgTGfi0Mw2z4_T5E80/?igshid=1gqvz9i7pvbwu

Not the worst view to have dinner to. So grateful that I get to drink this in. And to share with good people. @franko472003 @geminijaime https://www.instagram.com/p/B2r1cUUB2D8/?igshid=m6wszrk9bm8j

Who you vote for is no one's business but your own. But it only takes a few minutes to exercise a privilege so many people in the world are denied. And if you don't vote, you don't get to complain about whatever government gets formed tonight, imo. #election2019 #canadavotes #dontvotedontbitch https://www.instagram.com/p/B35HWTRB56ZTDlK0xNA6tpAPX1R8ts5O8LB66o0/?igshid=4814v1acqtpo

Tonight, I'm recharging. Because as on the path to my own version of enlightenment as I'd like to think I am, I still have to remind myself how necessary recharging really is. And this isn't the worst view to come home and do a yoga for tension relief practice to.
