Promise Me Not

I knew this book was going to ruin me when at NINE percent in, this is what happens: 😭

“Don’t tell anyone, but I’m scared, little man,” he whispers. “Your mama’s avoiding me, and I have no idea what to do about it.” He goes quiet for a moment, and I struggle to breathe, staring at my son’s hand as it opens, his tiny fingers wrapping around Mason’s thumb. Mason’s lips spread into a wide grin, a soft, quiet chuckle slipping free. “This your way of telling me you won’t let me go?” A knot forms in my throat, and I lock my hand around my neck. Suddenly, Mason’s face falls, and he bends, his forehead now resting on the edge of the crib. “Please don’t let me go.”

I’m done repeating the same cycles that keep me stuck. This time, I’m choosing growth even if it’s uncomfortable. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it starts the moment you decide you deserve more. Don’t wait for another year to pass doing the same things that drain you. Make that promise to you
