I'd Like To Take A Moment To Give A Little Love To Kids Who Grew Up With Passive Aggressive Parents/Guardians

I'd like to take a moment to give a little love to kids who grew up with Passive Aggressive Parents/Guardians

A little love to the kids whose parents dumped their problems they had with each other on you instead of confronting each other.

A little love to the kids who felt they had to be the messenger, mediator, and couple's therapist for their parents because they couldn't communicate with each other.

A little love to kids who had to play guessing games to try and figure out what their parents wanted from them.

A little love to the kids who felt very lucky to be in a household where their parents rarely yelled and fought until they realized that there was always tension hanging in the air of unspoken arguments.

A little love to the kids who felt the weight of the tension on their shoulders and were anxious and stressed and sad because of it.

A little love to the kids who winced every time their parents would smile and laugh while talking about their frustrations instead of being straightforward about their feelings.

A little love to the kids who realized they internalized all these traits and saw how it hurt themselves and the people they had relationships with.

A little love to the kids who are slowly trying to work the passivity out of their system, better their confrontation skills, and communicate better because they've seen what it does to people.

You are strong and I send you my love and support.

(If you're not of drinking age or don't drink, just replace beers with coffee and emotional vulnerability)

This has been going around my work and friend group on other platforms, and I thought it deserved a place here too.

Shout out to all the people who are still social distancing and wearing masks. Thank you for still taking this pandemic seriously and understanding how an illness can spread from person to person. I pray that the universe provides you with an infinite amount of abundance. 

“You just have to say to yourself “I’m not willing to accept anything less for myself than what I deserve. I am smart. I am beautiful. I am a good woman, and I deserve to be happy.”

And yes, REBLOG. Liking does no shit at all. This isn't ig.

You reblog, people see it. You don't, people don't see it. This shit's that simple.

soft reminders:

you have value even when you can’t get out bed.

you will always have inherent worth, unaffected by your level of functioning or productivity.

you are deserving of love, kindness and time.

you are worth the ‘burden’ of getting help and recovering.
