The oxygen mask thing (Patreon)

I tear up a little bit every time I remember that they remind you to do that. That's what you do in an emergency. When it's a matter of life and death, they make sure that you know that you can't help anyone if you don't take care of yourself first. That's how dire and important it is to respect yourself, do self-care, have boundaries and first and foremost help yourself before you help anyone else.

Helping others is vital for survival, and the importance of being there for other people can't be stressed enough, but no matter what, it's always still the second most important thing.
