Well said, my friend. 

I never really thought about things that way, but you're right... keeping promises to ourselves is just as important as keeping them to someone else. 

I think most people have a tendency to prioritize others and don't stop to think about what's best for their own self. I'm glad you've committed to your new job. Everyone benefits from having routines. 

Write what you can, when you can. Some days the words will come, some days they won't and if not... you can always get up and bake 😁

This is an important thing. A lesson learned by those on the path of self-respect, and of recognition of self-worth.

Im glad you’re learning to be nice to my friend. 🙂

Well said tim x 

My first thought once I'd finished reading this was... Thank you, God.

Of course, it's not God but you, tim.  You who have come to see your own worth. I hope you can see that now mirrored in the eyes of those of us who love you.  Not to be a downer, but you suffer from depression and you will likely lose this feeling during those times, but now I can  point you here. Then you will remember what is possible. Your own words and feelings to help drive away the negativity. 

Until that becomes necessary, remember you are worth it, you always have been.   

Don't obsess over the daily poem (or anything). Try, but remember that trying or writing a portion is okay. It is enough.
