Reflection on Today's Quote
That line hit me like a slap. Think about it—every house, every job, every relationship, even your body’s shape and strength—they all shift. But you? The mind, the soul, the inside place where you spend every waking and sleeping hour—that’s permanent residence. If you neglect it, clutter it with self-hate, or let it rot with comparison, no one else pays the price but you. I used to treat my body like a rental car: push it, trash it, figure I’ll swap it for a better one later. Turns out, you don’t get a better one. You only get renovations. And those take patience.
So the real question is: if you had to walk into yourself every day like a front door, would you be proud of the space, or would you dread the mess?

Clean one corner of your “inner house.” That might mean journaling out a thought you’ve been dodging, feeding yourself a proper meal, or saying no where you usually cave. Just one small act that tells your home—you—you’re worth tending to.
