Sometimes, the biggest reason you choose yourself isnโt just you. Itโs the little eyes watching you learn what love, strength, dignity and self-respect look like.๐
I want my son to grow up knowing that love, friendship, or any particular person should never cost you your peace, your identity or your self-worth.
๐
If he sees me being loved correctly and living a cozy, beautiful and romantic life, heโll learn what healthy relationships are supposed to look like.
And if life takes a different path and challenges my emotions, I want him to see that his mother never gave up. That even when the odds werenโt in her favour, she kept going, kept building and kept choosing herself.
Because Iโm not just raising my son.
Iโm raising a man. Someoneโs future husband. Someoneโs father. Someoneโs Boss. Someone who will know how to love, respect and value others.
I want him to understand that strength isnโt about never struggling. Itโs about knowing your worth and having the courage to rebuild when life doesnโt go according to plan.
Either way, he wins.
And so do I. โค๏ธ
