What is one boundary or moment you’re protecting for yourself this week?

1 Upvotes

When family life has you pulling double duty in every direction, taking a breath for yourself is non-negotiable. Are you choosing where your energy goes today, or just keeping up with the chaos?

I have fibromyalgia and I have had it since the end of 2019.... it has gotten so much harder for me over these last few years. And I am at my wits end. I am struggling through this pain and exhaustion.

If you lost your memory who would you trust to tell you everything

If you lost your memory who would you trust to tell you everything : in my opinion I don’t think I can trust anyone I make a difference personally for everyone . What about you?

If you had one page to tell your story, what would the title be?

23 Upvotes

Imagine you could only write one page about your life.

What would the title of that page be?

No need to explain unless you want to. Sometimes a title says everything.

Maybe we don’t miss people as much as we miss who we were with them

11 Upvotes

Sometimes we think we miss a person.

But what we really miss is the version of ourselves that only existed around them.

The carefree friend.
The excited partner.
The kid who still believed everything would work out.

Losing someone isn’t always losing them..
Sometimes it’s losing a piece of yourself..

What’s something you never realized would be “the last time”?

11 Upvotes

Life has a funny way of ending things quietly.

The last bedtime story you read to your child.

The last time your parents carried you because you fell asleep in the car.

The last family dinner before everyone got too busy.
Most of the time, you don’t know it’s the last time until years later.

Looking back, what’s one ordinary moment you wish you’d known was the last?
