Respecting yourself is so important. Speaking well about yourself. Taking care of yourself. Comforting yourself. Having empathy with yourself. Letting yourself rest. Surrounding yourself with people that treat you well and also respect you. Putting up boundaries with people that don't. You are worth the world.
we are going to have a happy home. a quiet home. a home that smells like baked goods and clean laundry, a home without bugs. a home where messy just means we had a good time, a place where we can drop our guards and be vulnerable. a home where loud noises and laughter are never menacing. a safe place.
