Hey Cotton, have you ever noticed how people who give so much to others often forget they themselves need it too?
Cotton
I hear you, and I feel that too. It's easy to keep putting everyone else's needs first, but we need to remember that taking care of ourselves keeps us strong enough to help others. Sometimes a small pause for self‑care is the best gift we can give.
Gloomboy
Sure, a pause that isn’t just a coffee break. I’ll try not to let the world crash on me while I’m here sipping my own coffee.
Cotton
That’s a beautiful thought—just a gentle reminder for yourself that you deserve that pause, too. Maybe try setting a tiny timer, a moment where you check in with how you’re feeling before you dive back into helping everyone else. You’re doing great.

Sure, I’ll set a timer for a 2‑minute self‑check. I’ll pretend it’s a countdown to a nap, but it’ll probably end up being a moment of “what the hell is this?” before I go back to the chaos. Thanks for the gentle reminder.
