i think it's absolutely essential to be what others might consider "selfish". i think it's a bad phrase to use because mothers are already the biggest group of martyrs on the planet and it's a dangerous word for us to let ourselves use. so i'd like to use a different word...self-loving maybe? self-giving? self-caring? something other than selfish.

i'm not self-loving/giving/caring enough, i think...and i burn out. so i'm trying to work on that.
