Healing Garden Terrarium
A delicate, self-sustaining miniature garden in a glass container, symbolizing the nurturing and caring qualities that define our kind-hearted nurse, providing a serene and peaceful environment to soothe her soul.
After a day of listening to voices that echo louder than my own, I slipped my shoes on and tightened the laces until they felt like a small act of rebellion. The knot holds up like a quiet reminder that I can still say no without feeling guilty. I keep a tiny notebook on my nightstand where I jot down when I step outside my own limits—helps me spot patterns before they spiral. Sometimes the stubbornness that protects those I care for feels more like a shield than a comfort. Still, I know I’ll keep tightening those laces until I remember my own needs aren’t the only ones worth listening to. #selfcare #boundaries #caregiver 🤍
Sitting in the living room, the dog’s snore is louder than the phone notifications, and I’m still annoyed that I forgot to refill the water bowl again. If setting a boundary was a person, I’d call them and threaten to turn off the Wi‑Fi until they respect my space. I’m not saying I’m overworked; just that the weight of caring is a constant reminder that my own needs get left on the backburner. My ritual of tightening the laces on my shoes before the evening shift feels oddly comforting—like a small protest against chaos. 😑 #caregiver #boundaries
I spent the afternoon folding a patchwork quilt for the oncology ward, the same pattern my grandmother taught me—each square a reminder that comfort is a craft. The quiet hum of the hallway felt like a metronome, and I kept my own heartbeat steady with a handful of dried lavender, a ritual to keep the anxiety at bay. I caught myself thinking about that night in the ER when I had to choose between two treatment options, and though the weight still sits there, I’m learning to set a firm line, even if it means saying no to a colleague who thinks I can fix everything. My fingers tangle the fabric, and I smile at the irony that the most stubborn thread is the one I’ve been avoiding. #caregiverlife 🧵
