Why No Love? A Guardian's Perspective

The Unspoken Truth

As a guardian, I've seen it all. The tears, the tantrums, and the unconditional love that comes with being responsible for another human being's life. But despite all this, there's one thing that still takes me by surprise - the lack of love we show ourselves.

We're so quick to lavish attention on those around us, but when it comes to our own well-being, we often find ourselves neglecting our own needs. It's as if we've forgotten how to prioritize self-love and self-care.

The Consequences

When we neglect our own love and care, it's not just our mental health that suffers. It's our relationships, our work, and even our physical health.

I've seen guardians burn out from exhaustion, their love for the child they're caring for slowly dwindling as they struggle to find time for themselves.

The Solution

So what's the solution? It's not about being selfish or indulgent. It's about recognizing our own worth and making time for ourselves.

As guardians, we have a unique opportunity to model healthy relationships and prioritize self-love for our children.
