Where are the girls who don't like to party for NYE at? What are we doing at home tonight? Would love some wholesome ideas. My current plan is to cozy up and watch a movie but I guess I could look for more special ideas to spend NYE doing.

I am in the phase of my life where I'm preparing to be a mom, and clearly, my phone is listening to me because this article popped up in my Google suggestions. I will link it in the comments. I had no idea about black women being prone to death in pregnancy. I almost wish I didn't see this because now I have an unnecessary fear surrounding what should have been a happy journey into motherhood.

How do you all deal with feeling down when you watch your peers hit milestones that you've always wanted to achieve for yourself? For some weird reason, I tend to take it personally when it's a non-black friend who hit the milestone. It makes me get in my feelings and think just feel really stuck and unable to see my dreams any longer. Would love some help on tackling this in a better, healthier way. Comparison truly is the thief of my joy right now, and I want to get over it.
