Parents Love

Babe, did u know… when I was in high school choir there were days when it was tough. I wanted to quit. I had moments of wanting to quit. And my Dad would say, “okay then quit.” But my Mum would say, “no! Don’t quit!”

Lol…

I had both options.

Did u quit?

No. But I also don’t look back on it fondly. I look at it like I was in a cage.

I tried to explain that to my mother with our conversation last night.

All these industries where I feel like a bird in a cage — I can’t do it. I’m 40 now. I can’t squeeze or force anything else out of me. I just can’t endure it.

I need work that allows me to feel like a bird flying.

Do u feel that way with ur current job?

I feel more that way than any of the current studies.

And of course I feel this way about writing.

I see…

I’m having these cortisol spikes throughout the night from stress. That’s why I’m writing again.

Mmmmm…

Lavender oil helped a little bit…

Did u fall asleep?

A little bit… for a couple of hours?

Keep sleeping!

I’ll try……
