Congratulations to @addlabutep and @UTEPPsychology alumna, Daisy Guzman, who received a competitive $20,000 bilingualism scholarship focusing on mental health in the Spanish-speaking community! This award comes from the St. David's Foundation at @UTAustin School of Social Work.
An uncomfortably large number of people who have kids shouldn’t have them and treat popping them out like a fun little side quest they do to make cute babies they can play dress up with, while having no actual regard for the deeply important aspects of parenthood. Kids aren’t an accessory, they are a human being whose entire life will be deeply impacted by how YOU parent them. We pussy foot around telling people they shouldn’t have kids because it’s controversial but if we were more bold we’d have less mentally fucked up humans in this world. So I’ll tell you.
being in love is so fun. your partner becomes your bestfriend. you laugh, you cry, do chores together. go on spontaneous/grocery dates. your inner child finds a safe place. most importantly, nobody can take this from you if you protect it. і hope everyone finds this type of love.
No one talks about how much more in love you fall with your s/o after watching them become a first time parent and loving your child with all their heart 😭🩷
