remembering how i used to take this dumb vitamin that didn’t work to help increase my sex drive when the whole time my boyfriend at the time was just ugly
People say:
"She's so lucky her partner works so hard she can stay home with the kids"
No one says:
"He's so lucky she's paused her entire identity, put her career on ice, let her ambition shrink, in the name of stability, sacrificed her salary, and sanity so their kids could grow up held, heard and safe"
They see comfort."
They don't see the cost.
my therapist told me, "stop assuming people are mad at you. Stop attempting to read people's minds. stop trying to manage the thoughts and emotions of others. let people be in charge of themselves. if they have something to say to you they will and if they don't it is their responsibility not yours. overthinking kills happiness" and that hit me like a brick.
Bought cereal for the first time in a long time and after two bowls I’m sitting in the kitchen looking at the cereal box like this. Now I remember why I stopped buying cereal.
