To all of you looking forward to getting married, I pray you will marry right and your marriage will be successful. You will not marry a bastard, you will not marry a wicked person. You will have a compassionate spouse. Your home will be peaceful. Amen!
my therapist dropped a truth bomb on me: “high functioning depression is scary as hell because you’re very capable of hiding emotions, feelings and thoughts, so no one knows you're not okay and even if you say something no one realises the severity, because you don’t seem like someone who is mentally spiralling out of control” felt it to the core.
Bless these mothers. Bless the ones doing the work of two with the grace of one. Multiply their energy. Stretch their resources. Quiet their fears. Let provision arrive on time.
I have to marry somebody who takes holidays seriously. A family person. Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries… everything must all be celebrated fully in my household.
nobody talks about how exhausting it is to live in that space between “things will get better” and “i can’t handle this anymore.” it’s like your emotions are constantly swinging. leaving you both hopeful and defeated in the same day
This year forced me to face so many parts of myself and I am left with the realization that you really have to be there for yourself and not expect anyone to understand you.
No one talks enough about the heavy regret you feel when you’ve been vulnerable with someone because you thought it was a safe place only to figure out it wasn’t
The real problem is, most of us were raised by parents who were just surviving so they taught us survival, not life. No one sat us down to explain how debt works, how to self soothe, how to say 'no' without guilt, or how to walk away from love that hurts. We weren't shown what emotional safety looks like, we were just told to keep the peace, suppress the feelings and work harder. Now we're adults paying bills on autopilot, spiraling in relationships, mistaking burnout for success and calling anxiety our personality. Lost, overwhelmed and wondering why we feel broken when in reality, we were just never taught the basics of being whole.
People don’t talk enough about the kind of regret that hits when you open up to someone thinking they were a safe space… just to find out they never were. That feeling of handing someone pieces of you they didn’t deserve? That’s a different kind of hurt.
