Where have I been? Mostly changing nappies.
Putting my sarcasm aside… it has been a simultaneously beautiful and difficult season here. There is a lot I have decided not to share (I think I’ve probably overshared enough judging by the number of slides 😂) which has zapped my energy. In all honesty, I have had a massive identity crisis that can be sourced back to the beginning of 2024. Becoming a mum has been a gift and an added layer of ‘who the hell am I and what am I supposed to be doing with my life?’
This has been going round and round my head non-stop… but then I went (bravely, I think!) to my school reunion. I ran into an A Level English teacher who had retrained. “I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up,” she joked. Little did she know that made my year. I feel so much pressure that I should have it all figured out by now and that I have completely failed at adult life by being in this position. But once you’ve hit the bottom, you can only go up. And 2026 is the year we are dusting ourselves off and beginning the climb… see you at the top ✨
P.s. I apologise profusely for the spelling errors on the slides. The English literature student in me is shuddering. I can only blame it on the 4 hours of sleep I had last night.
