When someone calls you “controlling,” ask yourself: Who benefits from you being blamed for trying to make life manageable? Sometimes the problem isn’t you — it’s the chaos you’ve been forced to manage. Maybe you’re not controlling at all. Maybe you’re tired of cleaning up what others destroyed. Maybe you’re tired of being blamed for wanting a life that doesn’t feel like constant damage control. Maybe you’re not obsessed with control. Maybe you’re tired of drowning in other people’s storms. This Mother’s Day, we’re not just celebrating survival — we’re honoring the women who carried the weight of broken systems, cleaned up after chaos they didn’t create, and still dared to dream of something better. We don’t want flowers for suffering. We want a new world. Until then — we see you. We stand with you. We celebrate you. (And we’re giving 20% off our Mother’s Day collection through May 2nd. Because mothers deserve more than survival — we deserve joy.) -—— Quote by Leah McDermott @yournaturallearner
