RE: My intention for living.

Love this!
the choice to conceive
not only shaped a baby.
it shaped a mother.

Motherhood does something wonderful, it cleansed me of my excessive sense of myself. Boy is it a rough ride! But as you have said a few times in your posts, those rough rides are worth it.

That was my favorite line that flew out the universe too! (I swear poetry doesn't come from YOU but somewhere else that uses you as a tool?)

Thanks for validating and relating to my experience. It always makes me feel less alone in the isolated world of motherhood!

I think I already said this somewhere, but @mariannewest runs a daily freewrite challenge that you might like. Here's today's prompt https://steempeak.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-793-5-minute-freewrite-sunday-prompt-stovetop. I published a freewrite poem for this prompt today. It's a really fun challenge and a very supportive community.
