I've been trying to get myself to take better care of myself, but I just - can't - seem - to do it.. Today, I was wondering WHY I don't go to bed earlier when I'm exhausted, and realised it's because I want to remain the same, the way I've always been.. Then I at least know how to behave.. Where to put my foot to keep mum from exploding..

Well, I don't live with my mum anymore so I really need to move past this.. But it's like the fear of my surroundings exploding if I put a foot wrong is so deep-seated that I just can't seem to shake it.. But I think I need to accept that whatever happens in my surroundings, I deserve to take care of myself - I need it and I deserve to have peace!!! I can't control anything outside of me - but I CAN choose what I do.. If someone has a problem with me looking after myself, I need to set boundaries! Those people can't influence me anymore. I won't have a life if I don't start caring about my needs first.

Yes, I have to remind myself, often, that I'm free and can do what I want.
