A Common Denominator in Self Care

They say sometimes in situations to look at yourself as you may be the common denominator ➗⁣ ⁣ And, yes. You’re damn right I am the common the denominator 💯⁣ ⁣ I am the common denominator in standing up for myself. Even when it is unpopular. Even when it is not fun. Uncomfortable, lonely, sad, you name it. ⁣ ⁣ But more importantly, even when it means standing up for the truth. ⁣ ⁣ Despite it all, I will continue to be the one who refuses to take less than I deserve. ⁣ ⁣ The girl who holds her hand up 🤚🏼 and pushes that spoon full of medicine back towards your mouth because, sorry, friend, I’m not into sipping that type of poison tonight ☠️ ⁣ ⁣ You don’t like my self-care tactics? You don’t have to. They’re not for you. ⁣ ⁣ And no, I don’t owe you an excuse or explanation because I will never ever have to validate taking care of or advocating for myself. ⁣ ⁣ And THAT is an equation I will never be sorry for 👑
