"I’m glad my kids took away the old me and made me a new me. The new me is pretty solid: I can create life and death, I cry at the full moon just like my grandmother does, I can write a lot of words down on a blank page, and I can even yell at my insurance company for not providing coverage for my son's inhaler."
“This is where our power lies, to love something so tirelessly. I deny that women are predisposed to a life of suffering, that my son was born through a long night of labor and pain. That’s just what the culture wants us to think to bring us down to Earth. My body is a healer. My body floats and creates things of all kinds. I don't know what it is about me, but my kids need me, and I think that scares the shit out of people. “
Thank you for this!
Of course being a Mom is hard and exhausting, but it’s also a gift!! So tired of so many articles lately, women complaining about being Mothers. (Especially when so many women are dealing with infertility issues). “Life’s what you make it” sang the late great Mark Hollis. And it’s so true.
