Another complex bundle of contradictions here. This felt so gentle and life-affirming to take in. I am someone who pushed through for years but it didn't give me the privilege of financial security, hence now at 44 really facing the impact of past choices that leave me without a steady home and having to move for the second time in a year and about the 25th time in my life. I have the burnout but not the security as a trade off. Yet, looking back, I don't think I could have done it differently. Perhaps even wouldn't.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I am grateful for the privilege of hearing how the post landed in the context of your story. May the moving process be gentle and your next home be warm, safe, and sustaining.
I, too, am a complex bundle of contradictions. Perhaps I passed down (up?) that wondrous quality to you. Sending love as you find your way amidst the hard stuff of parenting, of being.
