Just Gonna Say It: Real Self-Care Was Never Meant To Be Aesthetic
By PEDESTRIAN.TV
Thanks for signing up!
Social media is undeniably a huge part of our lives. It can be
great – it’s literally gifted us with so many online communities, side-splitting TikTok videos, hilarious memes and new ways of communicating with people.
A recent study conducted by UNCLE TOBYS revealed that Aussies are collectively spending just under 90 million hours on social media each day , so it’s clear it plays a gigantic role in our lives.
However, in all its greatness, it’s definitely amplified the need we have to compare ourselves to others – especially when it comes to self-care.
Origin
On April 26, 2021, the day after Sir Anthony Hopkins won his second Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in the movie “The Father,” a passage ostensibly written by him started to recirculate on social media:
Those words “Let go of people who aren’t ready to love you yet! This is the hardest thing you’ll have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing: stop giving your love to those who aren’t ready to love you yet” were not written by Hopkins.
While this quote is often shared in a meme format as shown above, it is also circulated as part of an essay-length piece of text that is also misattributed to Hopkins. One indication that the actor did not write this essay is that none of the social media users or blog authors sharing this quote make any mention of where or when Hopkins supposedly published this essay.

I came to Schitt s Creek during the pandemic, a little numbed by the condition of the world and the limits of life on Zoom.
I give a platelets donation every Friday at the Red Cross, where they take blood out of one arm, spin it through a centrifuge to separate out the platelets and then return the whole blood and plasma to your other arm. You re strapped into a recliner where you can t move, with needles in your arms for about two hours, enough for six episodes of Schitt s Creek.
