I used to think feeding myself was selfish.

That putting my needs before anyone else’s

meant I’d lose them —

that I’d be called arrogant or ungrateful.

But starving parts of myself

never taught anyone how to love me —

it only taught them how to forget me.

This week’s letter is about the quiet cost

of starving your own spirit.

About showing up for everyone but yourself.

About the haunting ache

that comes from leaving your healing unfinished.

If you’ve ever pushed yourself to the back burner,

this is for you.

Press play.

And let’s open another one.

Your Turn:

Where have you left yourself unfed?

What parts of you have gone unseen?

What still needs your nourishment to be complete?

Drop your thoughts in the comments or reply.

I always read them.

Because you cannot heal

on an empty plate.
