My daughter texted me from a party:
“Mom, do we still have ice cream at home?”
We don’t. That’s the code.
“Ice cream” means: come get me right now.
“Cookies” means: call me in five minutes with an excuse.
“Nothing” means: I’m okay.
She said ice cream.
I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t text back.
I just grabbed my keys and drove.
When she got in the car she said quietly,
“People started bringing out things I didn’t want to be around.”
We drove home in silence.
Every kid deserves a way out without having to explain themselves first.
With every day, every passing moment, every decision big or small, I am being pushed deeper into this life i chose for myself. The more I move forward, the harder it becomes to see a way out, Or get back to what i used to be.
Life achi chal rhi hi hoti hai, smooth, pursakoon, meethi meethi. But then out of nowhere sometimes I feel like I NEEEED to talk to someone. I dont like this feeling anymore.
my grandpa once told me "do not tell anyone your business unless it benefits you that they know" as a yapper, i took that advice and never looked back. best thing i ever heard
Over the past few months, I’ve let myself down in ways I never thought possible. I never realized I had the potential to be this kind of person but here I am. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m really that bad, or if it’s just this one person who has poisoned my perception of myself
This woman said the most petty, vile and mean things about me, to my face, and when I tried to settle her, she played the oh main tou bari hun, the age card??? I mean then act your age ffs??? Or have the courage to handle when someone replies to your crap with facts and logic.
