Oh what an unlovable thing I've become.
“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
— Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
ACCURATE ✔️
nice things:
the smell of lavender
oversized sweaters
dancing in the rain
musicals and plays
humming tunes
soft hearts
the universe has a plan for you, even if you can't see it yet.
“Not every parent is equipped with the calmness and presence of mind to react so pleasantly. Myself included. We have our own personal traumatic experiences to cope with, and unfortunately we need to reprogram them before passing them on to our own children. We will not always succeed. Breaking that cycle is a very difficult task. Life is real people. I'd love to be able to say that I didn't yell at my kids, but I was abused so badly as a child that my emotions are more powerful than my logic. If this is you, take it from me and please keep working to break that cycle. Our family's future and the world around it depends on it.”
Read this somewhere & I couldn’t relate more to this.
Today I started my new journey of sobriety in a way that is not always going to be easy..
I am thankful for my growth as it was not easy for me to make this decision, I did it regardless..
I did it for me, I also did it for my children who deserve a healthy and happy mother..
