“The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it, and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated.”
— Katherine Hepburn
“Learn to say ‘no’ without explaining yourself.”

Could you kindly publish this? I'm trying to start a conversation RE women and absent mothers as I never see this being discussed, only absent fathers. I want to be able to start passing on some advice and tips to other women, to let them know they aren't alone in this. Hopefully younger women than myself will have some of their questions answered in a way I didn't. Regards - R2YM
Friendly reminders for this weekend!

It’s not your job to be likable. It’s your job to be yourself. The right people will gravitate.
1. I need to affirm and to validate myself as it’s hard to accept validation from others if, deep down inside, I don’t believe it’s true.
2. My time is valuable as anybody else’s so I need to prioritise what I need to do.
3. I can’t give to others, and help to build them up, if I’m not taking care of my own self first.
4. I need to remember that I’m worthy of love, of success, opportunities, and knowing happiness.
5. My opinions are as valuable as anybody else’s. It’s up to me to decide and to choose my own beliefs.
6. I don’t have to explain why I do what I do (unless you’re the police or have some authority!)
7. My past does not define me - I’m free to change and grow, to try on different “me”s, and to set inspiring goals.
there’s nothing wrong with depending on other people, but do not become completely dependent on them. go to them for help, for advice, for friendship, for fun, for occasional favors, but do not rely on them to the point that you can’t do things without them. practice independence.
