your relationship with discipline changes so much when you shift doing things from shame to love. from ‘i have to clean’ to realizing i deserve to have a clean home. from ‘i need to work out’ to i deserve to have a healthy body. you deserve to have the best from yourself.
You wake up
Your husband looks young, the same mustache he used to have over twenty years ago
There are voices in the kitchen
You sit and listen, you can make out one, two… three, three little voices all the way in the kitchen
There is the smell of pancakes in the air, along with some bacon, you are hungry
You look down, your hands, so young
As soon as you walk into the kitchen little voices all cry out your name “mama, mama!!” Hugs filled the air along with sticky syrup hands, but you do not care
By the sink there he stands, your husband
Tall, full head of blonde hair, and you cannot help but hug him. His body feels so strong, filled with youth, you take his smell in, and you stand there taking in the warmth, listening to the children arguing over who gets the last piece of bacon, watching their little feet run across the kitchen floor, memorizing everything, because this ordinary so unimportant Saturday is what you wish you could go back to the most
And then you wake up, life has gone by, you are old, the house is empty, the children are grown, your body aches
And you finally know, you finally understand that at the end of life you will not wish to have had more promotions, to have gone back for one more day of work, to of had more time to clean the house, for one more day of school, for errands, for anything else besides a slow Saturday morning where the air smells like pancakes, and the house is filled with little voices, and you are woken up to the small bodies and the smell of the little heads you love most in the entire world.
An extraordinary life is made up of ordinary days. Of a summer breeze, and small hands, of cold cheeks you kiss in the autumn afternoons, of a steady hand that holds yours, of the wonderful miracle that is having everyone you love, all with you under the same roof.
2027 is 6 months away.
2016 was 10 years ago.
Covid started over 6 years ago.
People born in 1990 are only 14 years away from turning 50.
Stop waiting for the perfect time & start building the life you actually want, now.
Time really doesn't wait for anyone.
something my dad taught me is that you will never have enough to have kids
you won't have enough money when you have the energy. you won't have enough time when you have the money. you won't have enough energy when you have the time.
just have kids, you'll figure it out.
my parents had their first when they couldn't afford any. ended up having 7

everyone should have two therapists, a man who tells you to grow up and get your shit together, and a woman who tells you to love yourself the way you are. Ideally they should be married to each other since at least 9 months before you were born
@Rebels_Raiders I see the word grey here, but no grey colorways yet... you can't eliminate the apothecary without giving me the option of buying one in grey 😅
@WeaponOutfitter While I'm on your side with ear pro, the head gear part is actually a poor analogy lol. Head gear is only for preventing cuts, but is worse in terms of inducing more brain damage than without
@Rebels_Raiders@Poli_Conscript@Shadzey1 Sabre just comes with "upgrades" that most ppl would do (radian charging handle, ambi selector, other goodies like that) but does not necessarily mean CHF barrel. You can get a sabre that still has a normal nitride barrel. Different entry points still among them
