Tonight I had to say to myself, “Hey, Girl. It’s okay not to be strong all the time. You’re human, Girl. Sometimes life can get
messy, Girl. You need to give yourself a break.”
When I talk to myself in this way, I call myself “Girl”. I
say to myself “Girl, if you don’t stop
giving from your cup without filling it back up, you’ll have nothing left.” I
set myself down, breathe deeply exactly five times and I say to myself, “Girl,
it’s gonna be all right. It’s gonna be all right.”
