I get that you feel like you don't deserve it. Do you think you might manage to tuck that under your arm for a while and go ahead and take good care of yourself anyway?

I just had a scary thought. You don't suppose... that because you've messed up at taking care of yourself before, you now think you need to punish yourself by... not taking care of yourself?!

I know. Let me tell you a secret, though:
When someone else makes you feel safe, it's really you doing it; you just like to have someone there with you when you do it. OK, now let's pretend you never heard that and send you some cyberhugs

I'll be back later but right now, I hope you'll excuse me. Some people in Australia are still up, people on the east coast are getting up, but here in California it's way, way past my bedtime and I'd better go take care of myself, the better to lecture you to take care of yourself later!

(But then, I'll bet you already know to take care of yourself whether I lecture you or not.)
