It is absolutely terrifying that a man can sacrifice his youth, work 60-hour weeks, and build an entire estate, only for a woman to decide she is "bored" after four years, file for a no-fault divorce, and legally walk away with half of everything he built. Marriage was supposed to be a partnership, not a risk-free lottery ticket where you get to cash out on a man's net worth simply because you fell out of love
The hardest part about breaking generational cycles is that your family sees your healing as betrayal. You're not drinking like they do. Not yelling like they do. Not repeating patterns like they do. And instead of being proud, they're offended. Your growth simply exposed their stagnation.
In case you forgot:
We live on a planet where whales sing songs that travel for miles. Where trees can recognize their own offspring and protect them underground. Where dolphins give each other names and where lightning can create glass in the sand. Where horses can read human emotions. Where rain has a smell before it even arrives and where the ocean can glow in the dark. A planet where the stars we see might not even exist anymore.
