What "Treating Yourself" REALLY Is

Treating yourself is getting up extra early to watch the sunrise
Because it makes you wonder at the world. 

Treating yourself is baking cupcakes 
Because it makes you happier than anything else. 

Treating yourself is taking a nap at 3pm, after starting work at 7am
Because hell, you deserve it. 

Treating yourself is taking the time to do your makeup just so
And wearing dark lipstick
Because it makes you feel powerful enough to take on the world.

Taking the time for a solitary coffee-and-book date
Because you love the calm that settles over you.

Treating yourself is shaving your legs in the middle of winter, or wearing pretty underwear
Because it makes you feel so damn good about yourself. 

That warm feeling you get inside after making the time for a hot cup of tea on a cold morning?
Or that happiness that spreads through your body after a hot chocolate with extra cream?
Treating yourself
Isn't
Always
Spending
Money
On
Things
You
Don't
Need
