Quotes:
There's so many expectations and I think that's why so many of us get really overwhelmed in the holiday season.
You can't change your family, so expecting them to be where you're at right now is not realistic. But what you can do is really understand what you truly want.and understand that you have to hold space and boundaries around that as much as possible.
