Novel & Cerita Self Care A

She's the best friend a girl could ask for. You’re the best. I love you. She responds right away. I love you, too, Ellen. Take care of yourself, okay? I try to imagine taking care of myself as I text her back. I will. When I put the phone down, I feel a little bit better and I glance at myself in my mirror, trying to figure out what I should do next. Katie's right; self-care would probably be a good idea. But before I can decide what I want to do to help ease the tension within me, I hear the doorbell ring. I hope whoever it is, they don't mind me in my sweats and tee-shirt.

Sienna's POV I nodded, trying to absorb everything he said. A wave of shame crept in, realizing how careless I had been with my own body. “So I really have to change my habits, right?” I muttered, half to myself. The doctor gave a faint smile. “Exactly. Think of it as an alarm. Your body is asking for attention. If you care about yourself and the people who care about you take care of your health.” Those words sank deeper than I expected. The people who care about me. For a brief moment, Noah’s face crossed my mind, followed by the image of Liam, who had been by my side all these past days.

“Oh please. Whispering behind their hands like it’s 2012? That’s the level you’re letting mess with your head?” I swa‌llo​wed. “I d‌on’‌t want to deal with t‍his today.” “Good,” she said​ instantly. Because you’re not.” She grabbed my wrist and star​ted steering me dow⁠n the hall. “We’re d‍it​ching la​st p‍erio⁠d.” My‌ eyes widened. “We can’t‍ just—” “We absolutely can,” she said. “I have a standing appointment with self-care when the world gets annoying.”

I say and she nods her head in disappointment. "What I am saying is, make some time for self care. Give yourself a spa or facial, do some m**i-pedi. It will bring the natural glow back on your skin." I exhale and just nod my head in a 'yes'. I do not have the money to afford all that. I don't even have a place to live, how am I going to afford 'self care'?

Bringing mе bасk dоwn tо еаrth, mаkіng mе remember it соuld bе worse. Wаrmіng my soul аnd wаѕhіng mу tеаrѕ аwау. I soap mуѕеlf gеntlу. I nееd tо take ѕресіаl саrе because іt feels lіkе no оnе else wіll.

Granted only one of the, is a real breakup but they all feel equally painful. My mother is right I need to do some serious self healing. I need to put self care Sundays back on my calendar. I’m in need of some love.

Everybody was enjoying themselves, and I was resting for a little bit because I couldn’t take being outside or being on my feet for so long that I was about to give birth. “I know you want your space, and I want you to feel safe. I want you to have everything that you want, but right now, I need you to understand that I have to be a little bit selfish. I need you to understand that I need you just as much as you need to calm down. I need the same thing, Miracle. The only big difference is that I don’t want to go through this alone. I need you to feel that everything will go through. Call me a girl in this relationship right now. I don’t care. I need you, please.”

She smiled, her tail wagging, and replied with the kind of truth that always cut straight to the heart. “Trying while you’re still alive—that’s the core of self-care. It’s what the people who love you are struggling to help you see. And here’s the truth: if someone has a problem with you, they should text you. And if they don’t even have your number? Then they don’t know you well enough to have a problem with you, now do they?” I let out a small laugh through the knot in my chest. She was right. Only four people had my new number: Alpha Alek, his shadow Ryan, Lyra, and Madam Turtle.

“You occupy your mind with stars, not dirt on your way. Do not love the dust, it withers away. Love the stars that hold more strength to heal you anyway.” “You will be healed if you believe in yourself. Not just believe, but also love you. Love whoever you are. Life begins with love. Love is daily new for you. From your side too, in the world deficient of love. You cannot care for yourself true, if you deny love for you, to self-care is the highest form of care for you, for anyone diseased too.” “You smile your face in mirror. You look at you, you look for you. You are the look of you, you are the feel-good of you. You cannot deny self and excel still too. You love self new. Each day is new,

My reflection stares back at me, her eyes filled with uncertainty and a hint of excitement. I take a deep breath and begin my self-care routine, starting with a long, hot shower to wash away the stresses of the day. The warm water cascades over my skin, soothing my tense muscles and calming my racing thoughts. I let myself relax into the moment, allowing the steam to envelop me like a comforting embrace.
