almost everything men say they love about their culture is actually reliant on the labour of women. that’s why it’s so easy for them to feel proud and protective over it. taking care of elders and not putting them in care homes? the care is always done almost exclusively by female family members. the yummy traditional food? cooked by women. the fun events and gatherings? organised and hosted by the women. men love taking credit for their culture but in reality they barely participate in the actual hard work, they just get to sit back and enjoy all the benefits of it. it’s a scam 🤷🏻‍♀️

how incredibly lucky and grateful am I to be the one who gets to cuddle my lil (big) baby boy to sleep each night 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

so many things happen how are u supposed to get over all of them

[girlnumbers]

can I come over and not speak

[ashstfu]

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

[classicmeans]

With these crazies, I just have to perfect the art that is being fake as fuck, being extremely nonchalant and unbothered, just mentally reciting over and over “in one ear and out the other”

[classicmeans]

It’s just so fucking annoying. And what makes me cringe is just how stupidly “chill” I have to be and try to be and just let it happen and let it slide. Can’t even voice it.

God, I need the strength to deal with these crazies.

[bakwaaas]

can someone teach me how to be emotionally regulated and not be sensitive or take things personally

[classicmeans]

Thank the lord for the TikTok and Reddit mom community for making me feel sane and seen

[classicmeans]

Am I the problem? How do I know if it’s me, if I’m the problem really?

[classicmeans]

Apparently I have a “victim mentality” lol

Anyways this Ramadan I pray for the ability to be numb to this bs, to be nonchalant and indifferent

sometimes you have to let certain feelings just pass through you. you feel it, then you let it go. you don’t hold on and you don’t act on it. it’s just visiting you for a moment and doesn’t have to mean much more

[classicmeans]

Because I have absolutely no one else I can really say this to, I wanna put it down here but basically I have spent the whole day today thinking: is motherhood a scam or is it just my journey and the support or lack thereof that’s making me feel this way?
