    Finding time, to take time, it sounds simple but sometimes we forget. – What are you doing to prioritise you time? – I decided to put down my phone, say no to everything taxing, prioritise holding my plants and found some time to dance, that’s my weekend.

    I once referred to self-love as a privilege, that not everybody innately has access to; that statement still holds true. We live in a society that sees self-love as a radical act of rejection, of the structures that we still continue to take part in.
