i’ll give my period a smooth 3.5 days to do her biggest ones. but on day 4? i decide that i am spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically done. she better figure that shit out, because i’m not about to dedicate anymore time to that nonsense.
every time you replace "this is hard" with "what's the first step?" you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving).

I was asked, 'who is your best friend?' I don't know. I don't use language like that anymore. It doesn't fit. I have friends that hold the keys to different doors of my personality. And some open my heart. Some my laughter. Some my sin. Some my inner child
one of the main reasons i’m so gentle with myself is cause i believe i’ve already experienced enough hardship in my life. i’ve already been mishandled and undervalued by others and myself at times. so i deserve more patience, forgiveness, and consideration at this point.
I love my mother But I don't want to be like her. I love my father. But I don't want a husband like him. I loved my childhood. But I don't want my children to grow up the way I did.
