One of the ugliest truths about life is, every choice we make kills another version of ourselves. Get married, and you'll eventually miss the freedom you had alone. Stay single, and there will be nights when you wonder what it would've been like to build a life with someone. Have children, and you'll miss parts of the life you never had before them. Don't have children, and you may spend years wondering about the family you never created.
There is no perfect path and there is no decision that leaves you with everything.
The life you didn't choose will always look better from a distance because you never had to pay its price.
Stop searching for a choice you won't regret, it doesn't exist. choose your life, accept what it costs, and live with the consequences.
No more naps. 😭
All of a sudden there’s this thing called homework.
Your baby teeth are falling out and nobody seems concerned.
You’re learning that numbers have rules.
Adults keep asking you what you want to be when you grow up. Like, ma’am, I just got here.😭
The older I get the more I understand why people say, “When you love your life, you can’t be around people who hate theirs because they’re always either complaining or comparing.”
“Nagging” is how we turned men’s lack of accountability into women’s character flaw.
Instead of questioning why he needs to be asked 10 times, we criticize her for asking 10 times.
Be careful out there guys.
I perceived a burning wire smell in my kitchen. Checked everywhere, couldn’t find anything.
Only for it to dawn on me that my spark is back. 😌
@derinmama Best lesson I got from tripping was learning when things are going bad, just put your head down and ride it out, it won’t be bad forever.
When things are going good, stop and appreciate the moment you’re in, because it won’t be good forever.
I don't have a grand strategy for surviving a dark season. I have small anchors. Little things that don’t make everything better all at once, but help me to keep going when a big, wounded part of me wants to stop trying altogether.
take your time with you. there are battles you have fought that you are still unpacking, and parts of you are still coming home from war. don't rush the reunion; some pieces return slowly, some return changed, and all of them deserve a soft place to land.
