just because you are invited doesn’t mean you need to go
just because they asked you doesn’t mean you need to say yes
it is totally cool if you want to say no to the things you want to say no to
and yes to the things that you want to say yes to
can we please normalise just giving straightforward and direct answers
it is totally cool if you don’t wanna do anything at all
if you are on do not disturb out of office
if you respond with you know what
if it’s not an emergency don’t call me
and if it is an emergency
definitely don’t call me you’re allowed to take space
there’s nothing wrong with staying home sitting in your boxers
watching Netflix and just chilling the fuck out for a night
you are under no obligation to give anything to anyone at any given time
if it depletes you and this isn’t saying self isolate
and don’t hang out with your friends and never pick up the phone
that’s not what I’m talking about
I’m talking about self care
and intuitively learning what is a yes for you and what is a no
and not feeling guilty when you make those fucking decisions
