Self Preservation - Tumblr Posts

ooh... a classmate of mine brought up the concept of self-care, & my professor nodded and was like ‘i just call that self-preservation’ & oooh... i like that so much better... self-care, i think, has been so diminished as a term and concept that all it does is make one think of like, lounging around in expensive sheetmasks and eating ice cream. but self-preservation is a basic instinct & it sounds like action! like being kind to yourself & trying your best to keep from getting into taxing and harmful situations! like looking out for your body and mind & keeping yourself safe and healthy and happy and alive. self-preservation sounds like survival. i think i’m going 2 work at that from now on

forget a 9-5 and normalize the grind (constantly healing your inner child every day)

i love the saying “the grass is greener where you water it”
