Dear Someone: Your needs aren't inconvenient. They're the foundation upon which everything else in your life is built.

Read this tonight if you're struggling to be kind to yourself, feeling overwhelmed, or forgetting that you deserve gentleness and care.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

It is 10:44 pm here and tonight, the weight of existence can feel particularly heavy as the world seems too loud, too fast, and too demanding. In these evening hours, the mirror might reflect a face lined with exhaustion, eyes that have seen too many sleepless nights, and shoulders bearing burdens that no one else can see. As darkness falls, you might realize you've forgotten to eat today, or maybe the water bottle sits untouched on your desk, a silent witness to how you've been neglecting your basic needs.
