You’re allowed limits.
You’re allowed to keep yourself whole, and welcome love. You’re allowed to be fully seen + accepted. You’re allowed to ask for what you need, too.
Those that matter will stick around to see this side of you appear. They’ll get excited at witnessing you care for yourself, perhaps for the first time. They’ll root for you. They will welcome you, with the same curiosity + tenderness that you’re learning to welcome you with.
And some won’t.
And that will hurt.
And you will continue.
Keep going. 🤍
