People who have kids are allowed to be proud of being a parent and people who don’t have kids are allowed to be proud of not being a parent. No one should try to make either or feel miserable about their decisions.
ngl, everything that happened this year had a purpose. it showed me who was really for me and who wasn’t. it taught me boundaries, taught me to stop oversharing, and taught me to stop doing the most for people who don’t do the most for me.
Ngl one of the downsides of being an emotionally intelligent person is that you'll be able and willing to see and understand things from everyone else's POV... but people are rarely capable or willing to give that same grace of understanding towards you.
An eternal frustration.
Cried so much this year, I really hope I’m much happier next year. It’s one of the things I’m praying for. A joy that stays. A joy that’s not easily shaken.
Trying to heal, while trying to grieve, while trying to forgive, while trying to forget, while trying to love, while trying to be loved…….. that’s a lot for one heart.
