It’s So Upsetting To See How Many People Live The Same Heartbreaking Reality. No Child (no Matter How

It’s so upsetting to see how many people live the same heartbreaking reality. No child (no matter how old they are) should feel the burden of their parents negativity. No child should feel anger and pain because of their parents. It doesn’t have to be physical to effect you. I hope everyone finds healing and love no matter how hard it seems to be.

Man of the House

Some fathers are born miserable

I think

Or at least mine was

He had a rough childhood

He hardened his heart

Threw out his feelings- left unused

He stares at the world with dead eyes

Soon, he's gifted with children

You'd think kids would change him

But he remains a miserable man to this day

Dragging us through the muck of his pain

Allowing us to swallow his discomfort and agony

Instead of teaching us things

Like love and regulating feelings-the good, the bad, and the downright ugly

We learned how to be filled with rage and emptiness

How to yell until our voice bounces off the walls

Our faces red from our generational anger

We can't help but tether his suffering

To our bones

But as an "adult"

In her Wretched Twenties

Who sees him with fresh eyes

I will not be the keeper of my fathers' pain

Just because the days are repetitive at the moment, it does not mean you are not still making progress. You are not wasting your life. You still have time.

I hope we all find that special someone that makes sure you’re feeling good and listens to you

First everyone should find themselves and be in a good place with themselves and remember if someone loves you they’d make sure you’re always feeling good about yourself and your decisions. They’d always make sure you’re at you best not your worst. They won’t call out your insecurities, your fears and always make you feel guilty for things that you shouldn’t feel guilty for. Bottom line they should love, support and respect you in a way that makes you grow into a better version of yourself.

Someone out there loves you and everyone deserves love
