I’m honoured to be mentioned! And I absolutely love this line ‘Or, we can look at life and remember - this is life.’
It’s something I need to remind myself over and over again, all this messiness and struggle and weariness…it’s just life! We’ve got to take the tiny moments where we can.
I really resonate with this. Letting go of fighting reality and learning to flow with it, even when it’s messy, is so powerful. Thank you for sharing so honestly — it’s a reminder that being with what is is where real strength lives. 💛
I loved all of this comment. There is a zen teaching around not arguing with reality and I think about that a lot. It helps me sink into what is, then I forget and I remember.
Oh Emma, tears and goosebumps reading this. Thank you for this. It feels like you wrote the words that live in my heart. I also imagine the neurotypical parent enjoying it when I so often feel like I am drowning and taking everyone down with me. I also sometimes remember that it just is, that this is life, that in the showing up and trying and being human and communicating it all with my kids, that I am already doing so much. I also agonize over how much they are like me, all the parts I wouldn't wish on anyone and am trying so hard to accept unconditionally. Thank you for naming all of this, for showing me that I am not alone.

Sending love from the trenches 💛
We do have to take tiny moments when we can ❤️

You are welcome! You are not alone, not even close.
