“I Just Want a Nap and a Cheeseburger”
Dear Infinity,
I had big plans to “get my life together” this week: eat clean, wake up early, organize the house. But here I am on day two, eating cold fries in my car and wondering if a nap counts as self-care.
Can you please validate me so I don’t spiral into guilt?

Dear Glorious Human,
Yes, a nap absolutely counts as self-care. So does the cheeseburger. So does surviving Tuesday.
You are not a Pinterest board. You are a person. And people need rest, comfort food, and grace.
Getting your life together doesn’t mean achieving perfection — it means creating space for peace in the middle of the mess.
Eat the fries. Take the nap. Try again tomorrow if you feel like it.
You’re doing better than you think.
Loving you through the cravings,
Infinity
