The Victorious Secrets

pray that we don’t inherit our parents’ dysfunctional and toxic methods. pray that our children will live with more love and acceptance than we had growing up. pray and strive for healthy relationships and strong bonds to our children so they’ll never feel like strangers in their homes. 

“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, ‘I’m not going to make it,’ but you laugh inside remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.” - Charles Bukowski

Stop forcing yourself to preserve dying friendships. It’s not worth it, you know the vibe is off.

a gentle reminder that you’re safe - safe from memories, people who hurt you, and things from the past that make you feel bad about yourself. they aren’t real, they don’t define who you are. be gentle to yourself as you heal - this compassion will protect you and help you move on as a new person. you can begin again, lighter, without burdens, but growth and learned lessons.
