The End of Empathy
"Regardless, it’s time to resurrect the Golden Rule. Let’s all take a breath, shake it off, and declare a do-over. Let’s start listening to each other, especially when we disagree. Let’s value our differences instead of vilifying each other for them. Let’s be inclusive and kind. Let’s be compassionate and empathetic to the plights of others. Let’s be human beings. Because we’re never going to get anywhere if we continue to treat each other like garbage. A wise man who I loved very much once said: “Let’s stop finding a new witch of the week and burning them at the stake. We are all horrible and wonderful and figuring it out.”

Always remember to be kind to yourself. You are a mom. That is a big deal.

"Most importantly, remember that it’s okay to freak out a bit about how different your body is. You are a changed being! You’ve created a life! So be kind to yourself. Give yourself emotional time and space to make peace with your new body by highlighting what you love, what your body has done for you, and not, for the love, comparing it to your pre-baby body. Never helpful. Learn this modified Serenity Prayer by heart and repeat it often:
Grant me the serenity to accept the stretch marks I cannot change,
The courage to get my butt to the gym to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
And keep in mind as you look around the playground, Target aisles, and daycare drop-off scene, every other mom there is dealing with these same things. So be kind to yourself and each other. We’re all in this post-baby body thing together." The source
"The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength, each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving." - Simone de Beauvoir
