You’re a non-negotiable

What is a non negotiable in life. Some could construct this as boundaries or deal breaker, or something that will help with better decision making. What I am learning that all of these are based of personal experience of oneself. I also don’t want to make this about other people, so I ask this question again, what is a non negotiable in life, and for me it; it’s that taking care of myself is my ability to take time with and for me. What I have learned is that self care is not just a means of getting through the hustle and has been commoditized. It is still something I both desire and need to replenish my energy. It is easier for some and a practice for me. Especially with these winter months; here in So Cal I think that I would not thrive in a darker place. The non negotiable of being human to myself.
