Just a modest girl, trying to find her place in this big world ~

Lying alone in bed listening to the rain outside. 11pm. Rhythmic plinking on the glass sunroof. Slowly drifting into sleep. Time is slow, the house is quiet. Nights like these are divine & magical.

Watched Project Hail Mary at the movies, finished reading Atmosphere on Audible, rewatched The Martian on tv, and now watching the real life live feed of The Artemis II blasting into Space. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world. 🚀

Little by little, u teach them to have more responsibilities. To help with cleaning, laundry, to fill up their water, to prepare their cereal. It's your job as the parent, but it's heart breaking too. The thought that u are teaching them how to live without u one day.

I found my place of bliss. It's taking a steaming hot shower in darkness by flickering candlelight. To feel the embrace of heat and the rhythmic sound of running water all around, and on u. Ending in a heated towel wrap and cooling skin routine ah..

So let me get this straight. Working from home, he consistently asks for hugs cuz he sees me stressed. He wants to spend evry nite hanging out 2gether. He calls me during work to see how Im doing. And Im annoyed that he's being a bother and Im not getting alone time? Im a fool🤪

I am tired of carrying the weight of other people's moods and emotions.

@ElonMNews 100% yes. Go back to the blue bird. Before its too late and ppl leave this platform.

The curse of turning 40 soon. Wanting to go out to try things, and then not wanting to change clothes, put shoes on, and leaving your warm and comfortable home to actually go.

My husband just compared the annual celebrity Met Gala to District 1 & 2 of the Hunger Games. 😄 He's not wrong. People with money and their fashion style events lol

It's overwhelming. Change. Losing what was familiar and routine; trying to adapt to the fast and many changes. My mind is just trying to keep up, but it is quite rocked. It's overwhelming.

[Suzanne Martins @Smartins79]

It's the curse of being a woman. When the hormones ramp up and we have no other choice but to give in to the fatigue, bodily pain, pimple break outs, and fog brain. But we dig deep to piece ourselves together, to present ourselves normal, and to push past to still be functional.

Me: Is it time for u to buy me a new book yet?

Husb: It can be. If u want a book, I can go get one.

And just like that, so accidentally, my kid just shed a layer of her childhood off. A shaving of magic and innocence just sprinkled out. She learnt that we were Santa this whole time. :(

[Suzanne Martins @Smartins79]

Some days, I just feel suffocated by stress and responsibilities.

[Suzanne Martins @Smartins79]

This. My kiddies.

Nothing better than going on a crisp evening walk. 100% shakes an energy lull after work and dinner, while also loving the walk conversations with the hubster. 💚

I knew my hubby wears a lot of grey. But this just became evidence. #50shades lol

[Suzanne Martins @Smartins79]

It would feel worse, had he became a great father to another family while having left me. But it so has it, he was a lousy father all around. Things work out as they need to. It's how we move forward and make reparations. It's loving my mother for her unconditional love.
