Dear Hearts,
Now that I am a parent, the time for patience and understanding is here. Raising a child plus managing others have made some things very clear. One of the hardest things to do is to sit by and let others make mistakes. You see what will unfold, want to say something but need to put on the brakes. Preventing your child or anyone from falling also prohibits them to grow. Learning how to dig oneself out of a situation is very important to know. Unfortunately you shouldn’t be seen as the “easy button” in life. Sometimes everyone has to power through the struggle and strife
