Summary

You ever cancel on yourself? Not cancel on someone else — cancel on yourself. Cancel the walk you promised you'd take. Cancel the quiet hour you'd blocked off. Cancel the boundary you'd set because someone pushed back and it was easier to fold than to hold the line. Cancel the promise to eat well, to sleep early, to take a break, to be kind to yourself. I do it more than I'd like to admit. And every time I do, I lose a little bit of trust with myself. A little deposit in the wrong direction. Until one day, the account is empty and I wonder why I don't believe a word I say to myself anymore. I had a friend — let me tell you about her. She was the kind of person who always showed up for other people. If you needed help moving, she was there.
