"To the mothers who chose their families over a career abroad..."

and to "those who have always said that I wasted my profession as a nurse"

Please read;

When I was young (a decade ago I think )
I was offered a job abroad.
A chance for a better life,
but I had to make a choice.🤰

I could've gone...
Built a future far away.
But I chose to stay.
Best decision in my life.

Because I knew that some moments
can't be captured on a plane ticket.
I gave up the salary,the prestige.
But I didn't give up what matters most.

I chose to be here.
For every laugh,every cry
every moment I can't get back,
and for the childhood that wont wait for me to come back.

I didn't sacrifice my dreams.
I just chose a new dream- the one I'm living
right here, with my 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

Some of you think that I gave up something big.
But to me I chose something bigger.🤱

"Not a missed opportunity - but a choice"

I am just an average. I’m not the most talented, the most successful, or the most remarkable person in any room. I exist in the quiet middle ground where expectations are neither sky-high nor rock-bottom. My achievements are modest, and my flaws, though not extraordinary, are plenty. Yet, there is a certain comfort in this place, a peacefulness in knowing that I don’t have to be exceptional to matter. I can find contentment in the simple routines of daily life, in small victories and setbacks that don’t define me but shape me. To be average is to be free from the pressure of perfection, a reminder that there is dignity in the everyday.

In a world that glorifies extremes, there’s a quiet strength in embracing the middle. Being average doesn't mean being invisible or uninvolved—it means I am part of the crowd, experiencing life without the need for recognition. I don’t have to live for accolades or chase the highest peaks to feel fulfilled. There’s joy in mediocrity, in knowing that I’m just one person among many, contributing in my own way. The average existence is not a failure; it’s simply a reminder that life, at its core, is about living authentically, without needing to stand out or constantly strive for more. And perhaps, in embracing this truth, I’ve found my own version of success.

Why is it that when a child sets boundaries or speaks their truth, it’s often met with guilt, silence, or labels like “disrespectful” or “ungrateful”?

In many families especially those with traditional or generational mindsets, respect is often defined by silence, compliance, and sacrifice. So when a child begins to voice hurt, set limits, or ask for accountability, it’s seen not as growth, but as rebellion.

But the truth is, speaking up isn’t disrespect. Asking for change isn’t betrayal. Often, children are not rejecting love, they’re just trying to heal.

Boundaries don’t mean ingratitude. In fact, they’re one of the highest forms of self-awareness. You can love your family and protect your peace. You can be thankful and still address harm. Gratitude should never be used as a weapon to silence growth.

Sometimes, when a child finds the courage to speak, it means they care enough to try. It means they still hope for a better relationship. And sometimes, that hope looks like hard conversations, uncomfortable truths, and the bravery to break old cycles.

Letting a child express pain isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. Listening doesn’t erase the past; it creates space for a healthier future.

Good morning

- I know it's hard to love a health care professional.

" We get up early or work all night. We're late home and we're too tired to cook. We work a lot because we know there are sick people who need us. We missed a lot of events (weekend, holidays, birthdays, holiday parties...)
We don't get too excited with your little "boo" because we've seen much worse things on our shift.

We don't want to talk when we get home. We've been talking all day. We don't want to move, we've been running all day. You feel like we left all our attention, heart and love at work and we are empty.
We probably are.

We don't tell you that many times in the day we were anxious and scared. Sometimes we are scared because we work with lives or we have to solve many stressful situations with the best of our smiles.

You know what. We love our job!
That's why I know it's hard to love a health care professional, but you need to know:
We need your love. We need your understanding. We need to be taken care of from time to time. We need another person to take care of the details because doing everything ourselves constantly is exhausting. We need a shoulder to cry without explaining the reason.

We need you to do the hardest job you can do: love us."

Thank you ❤
