keep going.

You grew up in a certain way. You were brought up in a certain way. 

Some of these certain ways did not leave positive marks on your life and on yourself. 

You tell yourself not to do it when you become a parent yourself. 

You try and you remind yourself. 

But sometimes, certain things are so ingrained in you.

You don't even realise you're doing it until you've done it. 

You get discouraged and feel guilty. You wonder if you're any good at this parenting stuff. 

You try again. You fall again. You try again. 

And sometimes you fall again. Self-doubt creeps in as well. 

Just. 

Keep going.
