All I Want To Dream About Is You

Slow down. Appreciate your life.

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr downplay your accomplishments. A job is a job. A car is a car. A house is a house. Dear self, Be proud of yourself and what you have achieved no matter what. You have to build brick by brick.

less social media, more living

i feels like there’s something missing in me that the rest of the world has and it’s not fair

I think twice about who really deserves my energy these days

thinking about summer ending always leaves me wondering how different life will be by the time next summer comes

Not telling children of abusers that their parent is an abuser actually does not protect the child. I’m not saying read the court transcripts to your child but a simple “Daddy is in prison for hurting children.” or “Daddy hurt mommy very badly.” is much better than lionizing an abuser or saying nothing, allowing your child to create a false image of their parent that will be heinously shattered when they realize the truth. I understand that sometimes fear of parental alienation claims hold a parent’s tongue but children should be told when a family member is not a safe person.
