Promise Me Promise me you'll take care of yourself. Promise you'll buy those flowers you've been waiting for someone else to bring. Promise you'll stop being so harsh on yourself for things you're still learning, still healing from, still growing through. Promise you'll start taking your healing journey seriously, not because anyone is watching, but because you deserve a life that feels lighter than the one you've been carrying. Promise you'll speak to yourself with the same kindness you offer everyone else. Promise you'll rest when you're tired, forgive yourself when you make mistakes, and celebrate the small victories nobody else sees. You are human. You are allowed to be a work in progress. You are allowed to have difficult days without turning them into reasons to doubt your worth. Be gentle with yourself. The heart you're trying so hard to protect belongs to you too.
