"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." - Audre Lorde 

I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what the point of this blog is.

There is a point.

It's just currently sitting a bit out of my reach.

I think, fundamentally, it's my attempts to wrestle with the tension I feel between being an activist, and self care; whether that tension should really exist and how to deal with it; how to, as best as I can, live the life I think everyone should be able to live, while fighting for other people to have an equal opportunity to live that life.

That probably doesn't make much sense so in simpler terms this is a self care blog, talking about my explorations with self care and trying to find happiness and all of that. And trying to motivate myself to do that when, well, as it says in the blog title, the world is such a mess.

Assorted ramblings to follow.
