THIS. Those of us who’ve been in survival mode for our entire lives (and I’ve been in survival mode since the summer I was ten, when I had to let my grandfather rape me to keep him from raping my younger sisters) get to a certain age and we are TIRED. Tired of surviving. Tired of watching other people get to live their best lives. Tired of being resilient. Resentful of the fact that we’re always the ones who have to be resilient. We want to be soft, but we don’t know HOW to be soft.

Oh my heart, ALL OF THIS! Let us laze together in golden sunbeams, musing about everything and nothing and basking in the warmth and beauty of one another's tender souls. Happy Mother's Day my love!
