Difficult days
Motherhood is a moment when your life changes into something so rich, powerful, and demanding all at once, that it can feel almost unbearable.
While writing the alt text for the cover image I actually found the words of what I felt while drawing this image.
Editorial digital illustration of a multitasking mother, experiencing a range of emotions. She laughs, feels desperate, and feels falling apart.
Motherhood is a moment when your life changes into something so rich, powerful, and demanding all at once, that it can feel almost unbearable. Motherhood can be overwhelming at times—both positively and negatively—on all levels of the human perception.
Motherhood is like jumping onto a boat without knowing where you're headed, only to find yourself exploring beautiful places you could never have reached otherwise. You're not just a passenger on this journey—you're part of the crew, knowing that teamwork is the only way to get safe to shore.
Thank you for bearing with me through this brief and emotional post (or email, if you're reading it in your inbox). I'm moving old pieces over here and I discover forgotten treasures. I won't be sending email for each of them, so feel free to bookmark the URL and come back from time to time.
Upcoming publications include:
- A legend about an eagle
- A piece on Enheduanna
- And a contribution to a school bus seatbelt safety campaign
Thank you for being here,
Simona
