    This framed print is a reminder that taking care of yourself in a meaningful way is often challenging and unglamorous, yet necessary to live authentically.

    “Self-care is often a very unbeautiful thing. It is making a spreadsheet of your debt and enforcing a morning routine and cooking yourself healthy meals and no longer just running from your problems and calling the distraction a solution. It is often doing the ugliest thing that you have to do, like sweat through another workout or tell a toxic friend you don’t want to see them anymore or get a second job so you can have a savings account or figure out a way to accept yourself so that you’re not constantly exhausted from trying to be everything, all of the time. True self-care is not just salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from, and that sometimes means doing the ugliest thing you have to do.”
