For the people who need to hear this, it’s okay to

get sad about other people’s pregnancy announcements

unfollow pregnant people or new parents on social media if it’s too much

mute or filter pregnancy words and pictures

ask your friends and family not to talk about pregnancy with you

not want anything to do with pregnancy at all

Your boundaries are important.

Some days I just want to read you so I can soothe my soul and let my hands stay silent. I need them to hold on to your hand as I read your words and know my soul is not alone for others feel what I feel, have lived what I have lived, and are part of me for no one ever walks a path alone for we belong to humanity as a whole.

1. 99.9% of the time, your job doesn’t care about you.

2. There’s ALWAYS something that needs to be done.

3. Your family isn’t as close as they used to be.

4. It can get very lonely without all the friends you used to have.

5. there never seems to be enough money.

6. Most people abandon their dreams trying to survive.

7. There’s sooooo much laundry.

8. Grocery shopping is exceptionally expensive.

9. Everything hurts. Like, all the time.

10. You don’t have much time or motivation to enjoy your hobbies anymore.
