$elf

One thing I’ve been learning to internalize is that self preservation is an act of self love. I shouldn’t feel shame for putting myself first. It’s true that the most important relationship I’ll ever have is with myself. How I treat myself sets the tone for what I accept from others. I feel like sometimes as a black woman, it is expected for me to be self sacrificing. I don’t have to accept that expectation, I refuse to. This is the Sydney MF $how!
