We don’t fold anymore.

ByWiggleWired

Sorry but…

Masking isn’t maturity.
It’s obedience wrapped in burnout.
It’s being praised for disappearing.
It’s what they taught us to do – to be liked, to be quiet, to be good girls.

They said we were “too sensitive.”
“Too emotional.”
“Too much.”

What they meant was: easier to control when we’re silent.

But guess what?

We’re not here to be manageable.

We’re not raising daughters to break themselves just to belong.
We’re not raising sons to mistake dominance for strength.
And we’re not staying small just because it makes the room more comfortable.

Sorry but we’re done folding.
We are the cycle-breakers. The pattern-enders. The loud ones now.
And we don’t need your permission.

And before…

You may not see itbut that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Invisible doesn’t mean imaginary. The effort it takes to function.To mask.To make eye…

In this house, bedtime always starts late.

ByWiggleWired

Bedtime in our house never starts on time, and honestly, that’s usually on me. My brain keeps saying “just one more thing” until suddenly it’s way later than I planned. When we finally get moving, everyone has their own rhythm. One child thrives on a solid routine: teeth, medicine, pulling on tomorrow’s clothes because it…
