Your words came at the perfect time for me. It is so hard not to compare one's self to others, to make my source of worth my checked off "to do" list. Thank you for reminding me I too "am not a machine."
Meera, you are doing the absolute hardest work right now, with two little ones. These years are not easy, and yet you're maintaining a space for yourself as a person and an artist, however small and seemingly inadequate, and that's not nothing. Sending love you way 🩷
"not only to fill the absence of something, even if the absence is a place inside myself"—oof, that strikes a chord 💛 love these threads of embodied wisdom, and the rabbit hOle looks dreamy!
So moving Meera 💛 I too have a tendency to conflate my self-worth with productivity — something I only discovered after having kids. Thank you for this gentle reminder to ask myself these 3 questions the next time I find myself falling into this trap!
