"To be a mother means to sacrifice my dreams and myself.”
As a feminist, I know at an intellectual level that this isn’t true.
But it doesn’t matter what you know in your head to be true. If you don’t do the inner work it takes to shift a limiting story at a deep level, the story always ends up running your life.
Like how the base of the iceberg is what carries the top and decide its direction. Not the other way around.
The Buddha taught:
“You can always tell if a body of water is the ocean. Because the ocean always tastes of salt. You can always tell if a thought is the truth. Because the truth always tastes of freedom.” 🙏
I know this is the story I choose.
