Beautifullystillalive - Cottage Core Ish

My home isn't perfect. It's cosy. It's clean but I don't use tons of chemical products and don't spend my time scrubbing. Thus, it does show some wear and tear.

Most of my energy is poured in being present, nurturing my family and taking care of them.

I'm not aiming to make my home picture perfect. Clean but living and functionable.

You can linger here. You can grow here.

We're not posing as a perfect family in a perfect home.

We are living, breathing and laughing together.

You were not a surprise to God. You were not a mistake. You are not disposable or worthless to God. God loved you, God wanted you. You weren't created to live lost, you have a purpose. You were created by a God who doesn't make mistakes.

to my mother,

I wish I could heal you in all the places that you are hurt.

I'm home with the flu so have been watching Desperate Housewives. Can I just say HOW much I love Bree? 😭

the lack of compassion that a good portion of lotr fans show for frodo ("why can't he fight or do simple tasks" "why is he so weak" "why does he always need help / to be rescued") mirrors the lack of compassion of people for those who bear the burden of invisible disabilities. he's struggling against an immense weight at every step! something that actively tries to destroy him, worsening at every moment! his heroism is in just continuing to walk his path, step by step. his bravery is in just existing as himself under the debilitating weight of the ring. but because the influence of the ring is invisible, it is forgotten, and frodo is written off as a weak, cowardly, and/or useless character, much like disabled people irl. in this household we do not stand for frodo slander!!!
