After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
You cannot:
Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup.
That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.
Dave Chappelle said "i got paid 25K when i was 17 and was scared to walk around with it in a backpack cause i never had something somebody wanted. i know they would kill me if they knew i had this money. now imagine having a pussy." Give this man a medal.
I read it somewhere "We romanticized the wrong organ the stomach is more emotional than the heart" and it feels so true. We feel butterflies in our stomach and when we're sad we lose our appetite our stomach gets affected by emotions way more than we realize.
Someone once said, "Next time you feel nervous about stepping outside your comfortzone, remind yourself "I feel fear because it's new, not because I can't do it.
And I felt that.
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
I don’t give a FUCK about anyone’s opinion on immigration at this point. THIS IS INHUMANE. THIS IS WRONG. PERIOD. THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY TO JUSTIFY THIS TREATMENT. THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS. THEIR LIVES MATTER. Fuck ANYONE who supports this.
“What's wrong with you lately? You seem to be checked out and not yourself.”
Me: I'm grieving a life I thought I would have, battling stuff that no one knows about, and craving a future that I don't think exists for me, so yeah I'm pretty checked out. I'm fine though.
