That I belong to myself. My most recent breakthrough is that I belong to myself. Sometimes when you’re in a position such as this one, there are a lot of demands being placed on you: your time, your energy, your heart space. There are more request for support, for whatever than you can reasonable engage. So in the process of trying to prioritize, first and foremost you have to prioritize yourself and what you need to be well. – Alica Garza
