i need to sit by the ocean and disconnect from the world for like a week

fyi... it gets better. you find better. you experience better. you become better.

every week i need what i call a “nothing” day. no responsibilities, no going outside, no hard labor. Just rest & self-care. I live by that & highly encourage it
