@emily.orta: Sometimes “in a minute” is for the dishes. 🤍 My NEW poetry book ‘Remembering Me’ is available now on Amazon!! #poetry #motherhood #healing #childhood #spokenword
Stop it right now. I hate those freaking couch cushions so much. But here I am constantly picking them up. I am tired. I spend all day cleaning and “getting the house together” for what? For no one to come over, just us. I crave a clean *perfect* home when really— who cares?!

@Hannah: Definitely needed this. I feel terrible for all the times I told them to put things back up after dumping them, for drawing me pictures and writing my name on every piece of paper. I feel terrible😩

The Peace You Keep Giving Away made me realize how often I was overexplaining myself just because I was scared someone might misunderstand me. That one really stayed with me.

The crumbs in my bed really got me…. Coming from a kid who knew the sound of someone’s footsteps, I need to remind myself I’m breaking generational trauma and that too comes with messes that don’t need to be fixed right away

and the guilt always hits at night. when you look back on the day and wonder if you spent enough time playing with them and giving them attention.

my mom crawled into my bed with me after my 21st birthday party. still so many dishes needed to be done and things needed to be cleaned. but i don’t live at home anymore, so she ignored it all and those few moments with her felt like a lifetime of memories

Me having a 1 yo, 3 yo, 14 yo and 18 yo and wishing the older ones wanted more time with me. While wishing the younger two would give me space. And suddenly I have a different perspective. I miss the little children the older two once were. I need to soak these littles in while I can.

As a mom of teenagers, thank you for this reminder. The old saying is do cliche but so true. The days are long but the years are short. Soak it in mamas.
