Sometimes it's hard to accept good things because you know how easily you can lose it

When you're scared of losing, it's easy to let yourself lose on purpose so you can shrug & say that's what you're meant for.

I'm working on not doing that anymore. Shit can be tough but at least I can catch myself now

Yes, and it's a good start. There's always going to be obstacles in life, and a lot comes down to how you accept.

@SW-User sometimes we're out own obstacle & it's hard to accept that. I think that's the page I'm on

@ChiefJustWalks I've been mine before, and you are right, it's difficult. Maybe the only thing that matters upon that is, if it's you, you have a good starting point as only you can be you?

It’s been so long since anything “good” has shown up in my life, I’m hardly paying attention anymore. I just do what I have to for my son. There are no happy surprises, just steadily trying to keep us going. Feels like I’m missing half a life.

@RebelFox sometimes when good things don't show up, we gotta create our own good things. It's hard. But even shit we don't realize, could be good things. Like your son himself.. he's a good thing. You pushing living your life every day with him is a good thing. But I hear being a mommy can be draining & start to feel like that's all your identity. It's not though.. but I'm glad you enjoy being there for your son

@ChiefJustWalks Mom is pretty much it. I have passions I can’t pursue, people I can’t meet, I just have to be there for him. Except my wild nights, Ihave gotten a few of those in 😈 But ultimately, I’m just pretending I enjoy his video game stuff to be supportive of his interests while my brain is atrophying. As a creative that sucks. But as a mommy I’d die for my kid, so I’m there for him and the person he has the right to grow to be. I don’t feel like I’m important otherwise. I don’t have family, nobody close, so I try to make the best of it. Vanlife, adventures, carnivals and things to keep it interesting. I don’t feel like I’m enough. I know I’m not to be real 😆 kids need more than one parent. But it’s not gonna happen, so I’m good with him knowing I gave it all to him. Hopefully he will have a better life with more love in it 🖤

@RebelFox I had an ex who was a mom & I remember her telling me the same kinds of things. Apparently it's a lot more common than I would've thought because since then I've had a lot of conversations like that. It's crazy how many moms out there feel like having a child takes their whole life away. It's like their only identity anymore is "mom" but you're still a person too. Just a person that's working her ass off & made someone a priority.
I'm glad you're son has you but you gotta have you too sometimes

I like to look at it like this. If I’m afraid of something? That’s exactly where I need to be. Fear is useful. It’s the best indicator you’ll ever have of an opportunity to grow as a person.

@Reject yeah I like that I can recognize how I feel a little better. Makes growing a lot more of a conscious thought

@nightjourney yeah I've done that before. When I start to like someone so I push myself away. I've even done that when I'm already with someone & I start to fear it'll go bad.

Pushing yourself away or other people away is just a way to protect your feelings but you miss out on a lot when you do things that way

Are you talking about me leaving SW
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@ChiefJustWalks passed by it 🤔 so you don't care
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@ExtremeNext no I commented on it joking with you but I was at work & I didn't really realize what you were really saying. Now I'm sad 😔
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@ChiefJustWalks you should be sad
Sometimes what others view as good for you you see differently.
