Rest Is Not Weakness, Baby

Black Get Well card by Simone Hart

Inside the card

Baby, you have carried so much for so long — for everybody else, for every situation, for every moment that needed you to hold it together. But today, your one job is to heal. Not to push through. Not to keep going. To rest. We got everything else. The community, the people, the responsibilities — none of that is on you right now. You are allowed to stop. We will hold it all until you are ready.
