Ain’t that the truth!! People are all around us showing who we don’t want to be - these people are our greatest teachers! Usually the people that can be closest to us.. and they can come in the shape and form of family, friends, bosses, colleagues, acquaintances, lovers, spouses, in-laws, out-laws .. the whole sabang!!
It can be a tough one to get our heads around.. Remember THIS is the school where the big boy and girl pants are required. Tissues tucked under the sleeves or down the bra to have for those unexpected water works when our internal plumbing system burst a pipe or two when it all becomes a tad too much.
It’s like when new parents leave the hospital with their first newborn, we don’t leave with a manual of do’s and don’ts, we’ve got to explore and find out what works for us. We work that stuff out for ourselves.. If we have helping hands and some support at the start, that’s great, be grateful.
BUT there’s that fine line.. of still doing YOU and your way of being the parents you are. That’s your roles, nobody’s else’s. Being a new parent, can be overwhelming and extremely exhausting and takes a whole load from us.. a new identity in pursuit which we develop hugely into a responsible adult 🫣 (that does come- hang on in there!)
Which CAN be difficult.. and guilt becomes something that we understand differently- we’ve a new lens to get use to!
Our children/ grand children are actually the creme of the creme greatest teachers! Younger people around us are older and more evolved souls! They come in to shake rattle and roll every single part of us reminding us of our strength, power, resilience and the meaning of an infinite love meaning boundless, endless, that’s immeasurable.
That’s the stuff money can’t buy. Money can definitely make life easier but doesn’t sustain it. Love requires trust, respect, and emotional connection.
That s**t ain’t easy folks.. you’ve got to dig a bit deeper from the superficial bulls**t.
That requires huge commitment and responsible choices from you!
Throw out all your toys from the pram, make some noise, find your voice.. and show the God dam up!
We are all here to make a difference.
Jeeeezzzz… I hear you!
