Women Enough

Self-love is one of the biggest invisible losses after a major loss.
It is because our old self dies and the ghost self that is present prioritizes survival.
The brain wires itself for just the basics.
And you get used to living in hardship, just getting food and water but nothing else.

Without love of self we can’t really heal.
No matter where you are on your journey after loss prioritize love for yourself.
Without that, the darkness won’t go away.
The pain won’t stop hurting you.
It’s your own hand that needs to feed you and gift you things you don’t think you need.
