Oldest child with a praise kink, feminist, artist, mother, work in progress... here you'll find thoughts on all the above, mixed with smut 😉
Reading a non-fiction book about the 'South Sea' in the 17th century ("Born to be Hanged") where a buccaneer named Dampier (❤️) is described as a landed gentry amateur naturalist who doesn't care for battle (despite being in some gnarly conflicts) befriends the enemy, learns Spanish, and devotes pages of his journal to describing plantains. Also he's credited with introducing "avocado" into the English language. And this really feels like Our Flag Means Death is a documentary after all. #pirates
Feeling absolutely sick to your stomach because a colleague who is a certified nitwit received the same salary increase as you and something is desperately wrong with this picture and you can't help but to see it as a terrible criticism and now you want to get a new job and start fresh 😅
Therapist coaching me to think of mantras to help me accept when I have difficult emotions rather than masking.
Me: "Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit"
Therapist: mm.....maybe??
Me: *ignoring her while dancing* "I'm so depressed I act like it's my birthday...:
Therapist: ...
One of the toughest things about moving countries? Mother's Day isn't the same here. I firmly believe my child's father is not one of those dicks who goes golfing, we are equal partners, but the cultural norm for him is to buy his mother a scratchcard and that's about it. I'm trying to communicate and also have humour about it and also allow myself to feel my rage (thanks, therapy) and also not need so much but man it's painful. #immigrantproblems #mothersday #cultureshock
Today my daughter's nursery was closed. The day has involved meltdowns (both of us) burnt fingers (me), very short nap, incidents with poop, paint, water, sand (all her) being scratched, having hair pulled, dehydration (all me) I'm at such a level of overwhelm that I've asked her Dad to pick us both up and take us to McDonald's 😅 much respect to the single mums, this is painful - every prospective parent should have to do this day before having kids.#rebelparent #parenting
I can't help thinking of what lies beneath.
Observing every dip and dandelion
And wondering - is my footing really safe?
Or does this prove that deadly instinct right
That even these foundations, tested, true -
Yes, even this can crumble, overnight. /2
(Sink hole)
Draft poem:
Today, after the sticks and grass were emptied
From the plastic tea-set, casually tossed aside
By chubby hands. The raspberries all consumed.
I stuck my sandal through the crusted earth
Into a sink hole. Left the shoe behind.
Initially kept walking. Realised.
And with no little horror, peeked inside
The hole. Observed it gaping further in
On either side. What made it? No idea.
We filled it in with stones and sand. But now
Whenever I walk upon my precious land /1
