You don’t need therapy, you need a purpose.

[domestic-housebunny]

imagine we all created and lived in a small, self-sustaining village of cottages and farm homes in the woods. the children run around with toys whittled from wood by their fathers as the women tended to the village garden and men cut the fire wood for their families to use that evening. there is a stream where we get fresh water from and we all wake to the beautiful sounds of birds chirping in the morning. everyone is kind and everything is calm.

I don’t understand parents that beat and/or yell at their kids. Your child has never lived before. They are going to make mistakes. Teach and guide them when they mess up instead of hurting them physically and/or emotionally.

Ahem... I love my man with all of my heart. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
