On Kindness

Remember with kindness also needs to come strength.⁠
⁠
Some of us (ahem, finger pointing towards myself) believe that true kindness comes at the expense of our own needs.⁠
⁠
But, we know how this plays out: building resentments, exhaustion, compassion fatigue.⁠
⁠
True kindness is boundaried, and honest, and gentle with all those around us (and it HAS to include ourselves too!)⁠
⁠
So, get out there, be a little kinder than you were yesterday. And, if that means looping yourself into some kindness, throw in some self-care or self-compassion so that you receive too! ⁠
