Sometimes You Have no Choice but to Pause

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it forever: your health is more important than anything else. Take care of your body. Feed it good things. Rest it when it hurts. You’re not a bad person if you need a break or to step back from something. Sacrifice your well-being for no one.

This post is short because I need a break. Hope to be back tomorrow with our regularly-lengthed posts. 💕

I think we just have to remember to prioritize our health. It can be easy to forget sometimes though.

Yesterday I popped open the site and went, "Whoa, Ashlee is blowing up my notifications today!" Suddenly that seems a little dark. Hope you're okay!
