even if it turns out you can do it by yourself, you should let your loved one support you. always be grateful and never take their helpfulness for granted. and also remember it’s ok to ask for and Be Helped. sounds obvious but it can be so hard for me sometimes.
Remembering you can actively work FOR yourself and search for things that make you feel like you’re being taken care of it may take a while and it may feel performative at first, but once you’re there with yourself, being gentler seeps into everything you do And you deserve that kind of relief
as a hyper independent eldest daughter, i have found it difficult to let people into my life and let them help me with things. But recently i am rediscovering that it feels very good to let people love on you. Let them take care of you and buy you things and tell you that you look Great. It is OK to rely on someone.
I’m on an instagram break plus I like you guys more so please enjoy this painting I am proud of. Referencing Bosch‘s garden of earthly delights, specifically the third “Hell” panel ❤️🔥 acrylic and gouache on raw canvas!
