Daughters - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Everyone talks about the independent eldest daughter (rightfully so). Still, we should also talk about us single daughters who have had to be the son and daughter of the house while also being the parents to our parents and ourselves. We grow up having no one else to rely on and learning to do everything on our own to avoid being a burden. We are the girls who live so much in our heads that we feel like the loneliness is a lifelong companion we are born with. We are the girls who don't need to and cannot ask for help because we learn very early on that only they are going to be there for themselves. This is for the single daughters who constantly feel misunderstood and always alone.
something about being a daughter of a mother is always going to be tragic
-Amy Tan, The Joy Luck Club
a mother-daughter relation is something like 'i know you're hurting, i'm hurting too, i want to tell you i love you, i know i'm the one hurting you, i want to tell you i'm proud of you, you're hurting me too, i wish i could make you proud, i hate you, i wish we were kinder to each other, i know you hate me too, we are broken, we're the strongest people ever, i'm never going to be like you, i understand you, i know you love me too, i wish i could say all of this to you, i wish to run away and never see you again, i wish we would hug very tightly and sob together then maybe the pain and rage will go away, i know we won't ever admit all of this, i hope we'll be okay' "come, dinner's ready" "what is for dinner today?" "i tried making your favourite dish."
Protector dads and their powerful pink daughters
Always said I was a good kid Always said I had a way with words Never knew I could be speechless Don't know how I'll ever break this curse Now the world is only white noise Frequencies that I can't understand I can't be bothered with the teachers Always trying to shape the way I act I'll set fire to the whole place I don't even care about our house It's not the same in here since he left anyways Mamma told me all of this is Just a place we have to settle for Less than anything we dream on We'll continue to be disappointed I feel down, I feel down, I feel down, I feel down Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down -Burn it Down by Daughters We are hardly able to cool down our burned scars or wounds. The raging fire might be gone, but sometimes we are still burning in the inside. No money or property can change what happened. Love yourself. It's your decision. Will you hold on the past ... or keep marching on and discover your everyday new you. #lifeistrange #daughters #lifeisstrangebeforethestorm #burnitdown #depressionsucks #emotionart #darkart #pencilart #coaldrawing #ptsd #meds #mentalhealthawareness #keepmarchingon #artist #youngartist #crazyartist #weirdo #childhoodmemories #childhoodtrauma #abuse #pain #heartache #burning #blackflames #lizzyeatsart
