New reality

“Reality has completely changed, one’s heart simply doubled in size! Meanwhile, so many things that were considered valueable or important got devalued, while others gained priority. Day-to-day life became so narrow, certain freedoms shrank… motherhood is once instinctive and learned, ancient and redefined at every passing moment. Finding harmony between these dualities and extremes is both necessary and impossible. What am I learning? What is the daily struggle? I am learning to be more accepting of myself, more than ever before, and to be present whenever I can. I am learning to look at productivity and what gets done in a day differently. There really is nothing more important than being present. While presence and mindfulness also have a thousand shades. Apart from motherhood, what adds color to everyday life and what simple joys are missing? I look for creativity, me time and adult company more than ever before.”
