#Sunday #Regram from Smart Girls co-founder, Meredith Walker: "Directors at @JPHRO clinic in Haiti. Among so many other things, they educate girls about reproductive health. The girls earn a certificate and are then able to go into their community to educate others. More healthy and informed girls. Good things are happening." 👍👍

Guys, I know sometimes it's hard AF. You wake up & you're like "today's the day I'm giving up coffee then you have 3 coffees & it's 10 am & you're still laying in bed scrolling on Instagram & watching cat videos & you tell yourself you're going to write or create something but all you do is make 3 eggs & the shells fall in you think fuck it: texture. And the baby's crying or you don't have a baby but the husband is being an asshole or you wish you had a husband or a girlfriend or whatever but it's a beautiful day so you think you'll ride your bike but then your bike tires are flat because you haven't ridden in 3 years & do you even own a bike anyway? So you lay in bed sticky from breast milk leaking from your boobs or coffee you said you wouldn't drink that spilled on you & you scroll & look at everyone's perfect happy lives & you start pulling your eyebrow hairs out (nervous habit) because you wonder how you'll catch up? You wonder what you've done that's so remarkable? You wonder why you suck the most & literally no one else does.

Well, I feel you. I call this wallowing in your own suckery! Don't wallow under any circumstances. Don't be an asshole & wallow. Or wallow for like 5 minutes but then snap the f out of said wallowery of said suckery & fuckery. You don't suck. You are remarkable. Yes, you, you sticky, bikeless, coffee breathed human. You! Remember- social media is 99% bullshit. Remember- life is not a race or a competition. Remember- we all think we suck sometimes. Remember- we do suck sometimes but that's called being a damn human being. So don't wallow in it. Just get up and put your non-asshole pants on & do something to get out of your head. Or don't put pants on.
Tag someone who doesn't suck. I love you!! #dontbeanasshole #dontwallowinyourownsuckery

But seriously, did you? Back THEN, when you were THERE, whenever there was, did you think you'd be HERE?
I'm here lying in bed w a wind up toy that plays music resting on one boob & C nursing on the other- trying to entertain him & calm him the F down. What I mean is- when I was there, say 1 year ago even, I didn't not think "in 1 year I'll be laying on my bed, dirty AF breastfeeding a tiny human." I simply didn't know. I didn't know any of the things life had in store for me or I for it. Like I always remind you of: embrace the not knowing!
This is the kick in the pants to remind you that if you are one who says "I'll never get there.. That'll never happen for me... Etc" I want to ask you: HOW DO YOU KNOW?
You don't.
It's also a swift kick in the tush to dream big or however you dream but to not be TOO ATTACHED to how exactly that dream looks because again, when you were there, did you think you'd be here?
We must leave room for not knowing. For the unexpected. For delight. For surprise. For all of it. For being human!
Ps- if you want to be part of my BETA online experience #onbeinghuman on being human sign up link in bio. "How to forget perfection & be human"
Pps- tell me below if where you are now is where you thought you'd be & your feelings around that. I love you guys! #dontbeanasshole #nobullshitmotherhood
