Helloo everyone,
We'd really like to create a self-care image for Valentine's Day to share on social media and here on the boards. We thought the image would be really nice to have lots of tips about how to practice self-love and kindness to ourselves.
We're hoping to create something that looks a bit like this picture:
If you're happy to be involved, please do comment your tips below and we'll use them to create into a nice illustration

Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

All human beings are worth self love, appreciation and self-worth.
Just to echo what everyone else has said here @AnonymousToe you are so deserving of kindness, just like everyone else.
You bring so much to the community, we love having you here. You are so deserving of self-love - you give so much support to others and you deserve the same back.
I also feel like I am doing the same as well especially forgiving myself for mistakes I made or bad choices I did in the past (because personally and still now I wasn't a good person). I think it's good though you have found a way of setting boundaries for yourself because I find it quite hard to say no to most people as I tend to be a people pleaser most of the time. But actually and I think you also find that saying no is quite healthy to do because we can't always please everyone from time to time .
I'm also echoing again what's already been said @AnonymousToe you are so deserving of kindness and self-love, and I'm sending you lots of virtual hugs all the way from here. I'm so sorry to hear how your parents are making you feel, that sounds so difficult
sending bigs hugs to you all as you all deserve all the love in the world
