We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves and I can’t imagine my life without these little balls of energy AKA the ones who just don't sleep and then wake up super early - WHYYYYY!?
What I hope to be able to teach my family is you must believe in what you’re doing, that what you’re doing is the right thing - even if in life we fail as long as we learn from our mistakes and can evolve as people. As the saying goes "There is no such thing as a perfect parent. So just be a real one." I'm definitely not perfect - that's how the name came about 'Bryony - Perfectly Imperfect' when I made a WordPress blog 3 years ago, because to be Imperfect, to be flawed is to be human.
The importance of parents, carers, families and friends can be seen in the way they support our lives and families can come in many shapes and forms. They can also play the biggest role in our development - whether it’s in our mental, physical, social, financial, or career development, parents help us in every step of our life. Family might look different for everyone, but at its core, it's the group of people we surround ourselves with and love (even when it can be difficult, and oh boy can families be difficult!)
No family is the same, just like non of us are the same and we shouldn’t be expected to have the same life or the same way of dealing with things.
Commit to growing yourself. Growing yourself is important.
Commit to learning through hard lessons, even if some days it's hard to even leave the bed.
Trust yourself and in the universe that everything will work out in the end… Or, maybe just in a different way to how you hoped or expected... This I can definitely say with experience. With all that being said, it’s ok to grieve what you’ve lost, or expectations not succeeded in life. It’s ok that you’ve tried and failed. It’s ok to be sad. It’s ok to wish things had worked out differently. It’s ok to have regrets. It’s ok to not move on straight away.
That's my thought for today.
