And even though I’m passionate about all of these things—no one is making me do them—I still feel overwhelmed sometimes. So, since I’ve been writing a lot about self-care recently, I realized that due to my limited time, I needed to start thinking about how I could personally incorporate more self-care…

I am 20 years younger than my boyfriend, and I’ve learned a lot about how to handle an age gap relationship. This makes for some unique relationship conflicts, but we both seem to be up for the challenge. It also makes for some strange self awareness, and that is what this post is about.
