These hearts. HUGE hearts. Genuinely good, beautiful, smart hearts. Most times loving and open, I'm already starting to see the effects of social mainstreaming pressures slowly trying to box them in, making them doubtful of themselves as compared with others. Five and seven, with everything before them. We can't fail them. Any of them out there. We can't let the fluorescent covered pavement cubicles swallow them alive until they become a mechanical servant to the reigning few, spending their overburdened, monotonous days, chasing false promises and hidden messages, which were meant only to draw their chains closer to the ground until their feeble, broken souls fall still, sinking like weights tied to the crates full of garbage and waste as it drifts to the ocean floor. Lost to the darkness, we won't ever let them be. But if you haven't found YOUR light yet, how can you help them find and hold fiercely onto theirs? If they don't see you dig in and struggle your way to victories or hold on for dear life with unwavering faith as you push to your dreams, how will they know how to follow their hearts to a fulfilled, satisfying life? π #momlife #parenting #tryinghard #reachforthestars #dontfencemein #momentslikethese #lovelife #choosehappiness #bepresent #abetterway #bestfriends #brotherandsister #mompreneur #makingourownpath #thepathlesstraveled #findingmyway #ourstory #familygoals #goadifferentway #hugeheart #kids #teachthemwell #mainstream #pressure #society #pressure #bestrong #nevergiveup #lovehard #createyourlife #tapthatgrove #idealab #romancedbylife #fightingwithlife #thepositivepowermovement #soeco #sponsordreams #nestsandburrows (at Nests And Burrows)
