Work-life balance
There is a silent wealth you inherit from loving, supportive and nurturing parents/family unit. You’re more likely to grow up confident, self assured and emotionally balanced. This type of upbringing arms you with strong foundations and building blocks to navigate life with.
Many of us didn’t experience this or endured the extreme opposite end. Life presents far more challenges that we have to deal with e.g emotional dysregulation, poor boundaries, easily activated flight or fight mode, low self esteem, lack mindset, mental illness, ND conditions etc
Overcoming such challenges and dealing with these issues is a life long endeavour. Meanwhile we still have to work a 9-5, run a business, raise kids, finish school, keep a home etc. All the same milestones and pressures but none of the building blocks and nurturing. It’s not easy
It takes a special type of strength, resilience and faith to deal with what you’re dealing with and still power through. To succeed, to try, overcome. Hell to even make it through the day. All that heaviness all those complexes and you still show up everyday. With a smile in tow.
Some of us are not starting from 0. Some of us are starting from minus 100. Some of us minus 1000. So much money, effort and time spent healing, unlearning, relearning to get you to someone’s baseline point they achieved aged 9. Such is life.
I promise you, you’re doing so much better than you think you are. I’m reminding myself of this too. We live under a system that doesn’t give us the space to repair ourselves, adequately rest or collectively process what’s happening to us. From the personal to the systemic.
Please have a read of my blog I’m No Wonder Woman. Long reads on issues like the ones raised in this thread. I explore adulthood, love, navigating life as well as critical analysis on pop culture and trends.
