I am so proud of you, of your boys, of how you are raising them, the love they experience, the beautiful things they take from you. You can indeed choose what you pass on, choose what and who you allow in your life, and choose for your own peace of mind. Love you! 🤍
It must have been a strange day for you all round - four years is a long time and at an event which has so many other emotions running along with it. I must say I understand why you are so proud of your sons. They behaved wonderfully - it is so important for boys to know that crying or showing your feelings is a strength <3
This line caught my attention, Noor: Maybe I became a mirror he could not face. I did not stay broken. I did not stay small.
On my own journey, I have lost relationships that were important to me because of this very thing. When I was in my late 20s, I thought that there was something wrong with me because of it. I finally realized that I was losing people because I was growing (and healing) and that very thing was uncomfortable for some. Sometimes we stumble into -- or are born into -- systems that wish to keep us small. For me, once I recognized that it became easier to continue to choose my own way forward.
