“You can love your parents AND acknowledge they didn’t give you what you needed. Both are not mutually exclusive.— ThisisYolandaR “Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they experience years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of the trauma and fought to say “This ends with me”. This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker.” — Wordables “Sometimes you have to blame yourself because you knew better.” — Accountability “My 4 problems...1. I overthink.2. I overlove.3. I overcare.4. I over trust.” — Smart Girl Sarcasm “The best women are always gonna be the most difficult.If you can’t deal with it, get yourself a basic one.” — xgilham “Sometimes we give love to the wrong person, and we sit there and wonder, ‘how could I have given love to that person? They don’t even deserve it,’ or ‘what a waste of time.’ But the thing is, you shouldn’t think about it that way. You should think of the fact that you were able to give love, because if you are able to give, that means you have it inside of you. It’s the same thing with kindness, with honesty, with your ability to care about people. Don’t focus on the way that people abuse that. Focus on the fact that you have it within you, and that it makes you who you are. It makes you a beautiful person, a beautiful human being.” — Najwa Zebian Subscribe to The Mental Mommy blog When you sign up, you’ll receive your subscription to my newsletter — which is where I will show up to share more personal details about my everyday life, chapters from books I’m in the process of creating, daily intentions and creative journal prompts.
