Let's talk about self-compassion
I'm not writing this because I want a pity party or the attention to be focused on me - I'm writing this because I'm tired. I've worked 25 hours in two days on maybe...6 hours of sleep. I have to do this to pay for rent, to pay for food and my bills. No, I'm not splurging and buying lots of expensive things, I'm dipping more and more into my savings funds because I have shit to take care of. There's days where I feel like doing everything on my to-do list and days where I just want to lay in bed all day long. I've finally come to the acceptance of having those mixed emotions. I'm busy and I have things to do. I am a motherless daughter who is a full-time employee and graduate student. Sometimes life sucks and there's nothing I can do about it. This is where Self-compassion comes in and takes care of everything, whisking away my problems. Yeah right, but we'll go with it. We'll give it a shot. Criticism can be a good thing
