Labels

Few see the mask Fewer see past it And less walk in the shadows The world says I am one thing And that you are another I say I am nothing And yet I am still labelled. You can have my body When my mind stops saying no You can’t have my body Until my …

Injustice

Let's talk about working parents for a minute. I'm heart broken and angry with the lack of regulations which would force employers to have clear policies and procedures in place for parents/carers. There is THE law which provides working mothers and fathers with a handful of rights but it also gives employers freedom of misinterpreting …

Mind & Body

Your mind comes first and body follows after. If ones mind is in a bad state the body will deteriorate. I have neglected both of them over the years mistreating & abusing them mentally and physically. I feel like I have hit the rock bottom again. As a working mother I try to tackle multiple …

New Reality

I look at you and I can't believe that you are my daughter. I feel overwhelmed. I don't know what to think or how to identify all the feelings which are flooding me through a broken dam of life. Epidural still works wonders therefore I can't feel any pain ( until 1 day later haha). …

Postpartum Body Image

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions recently. One side of me appreciates being back at work and the other side of me despises it to its very core. I miss spending days with P, I miss being with her and I'm annoyed that I waste my time & energy on dealing with various situations at …

My Pride & Joy

I might be tired. I might be overworked. I might be anxious after a whole day at work. But when I enter the house and see my precious baby girl everything negative disappears and goes away. I'm able to distingush between what's important and what's trivial. I'm forever grateful for my daughter enabling me to …

Breaking Back

Exactly, I have been dealing with 'breaking back', back pain, excruciating pain which drives me crazy. I had dealt with sciatica near the end of my pregnancy, went into labour, had an epidural (due to complications and because I just couldn't take the pain anymore, to be exact, after 48 hours of being in labour …
