My therapist told me, "When a woman grows up feeling unseen, she learns to love by overgiving. She pours into everyone else, hoping that one day someone will finally pour back into her. She becomes the caretaker, the fixer, the one who shows up even when no one shows up for her. And the hardest part? Deep down, she's not trying to be strong. She's just waiting for someone to do for her what she's spent her whole life doing for everyone else."
Things eldest daughters find weirdly ROMANTIC:
1. "I'm already on it."
2. noticing what needs to be done without being asked
3. "I remembered how you like it."
4. "You rest. I'll finish this."
5. "I filled up your water bottle."
6. "I'll drive."
7. "I thought of you, so I grabbed this."
8. "I already made the reservation."
I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
The best video on the internet today! ❤️🫶🏽😂
A daycare video has gone viral after capturing a baby girl taking her very first steps.
The joy, excitement, and pure innocence in the moment are absolutely priceless. I couldn’t stop smiling while watching it. Moments like this remind us that happiness can be found in the simplest things.
A liar cannot lead my household.
A cheater cannot lead my household.
A man that does not take accountability cannot lead my household.
A man that cannot control his emotions cannot lead my household.
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
So I got my period at work today with absolutely no warning and went around asking all the women in the office if anyone had anything and nobody had a single thing.
One of the guys overheard me and said he had pads in his car because he keeps them there for his girlfriend for emergencies.
And then he went out to his car and came back and handed me a pastry bag.
This man had put the pads inside a pastry bag so nobody would know what was in it. To save me the awkwardness of walking through the office visibly carrying pads. He thought about that. On his own.
And it wasn't just one, he gave me two because I had an eight hour shift and he did that math himself apparently.
I was not prepared for......
People living on $2,000,000 homes tip you $3 for delivering their $120 pizza order. Meanwhile, the family in a single-wide trailer hands you $10 and asks if it’s enough. Funny how that works.
85-year-old widow in NC begs a tree company for firewood she can’t afford to stay warm…
