You put words to my experience. A new archetype is being called forth. Thank you for describing what feels like an indescribable experience of transformation.

My third turns one tomorrow. I was just writing about this. It's not enough for me to be all MOTHER all the time or all ARTIST all the time. We are allowed to want both. That's not too much, even when it burns.

I am not a mother, but I spent 6 years in a committed relationship where I found my truth and emerged enough of myself to actually leave the relationship in an empowered way. 2 years later I am dating a wonderful man who may be the one. He has lived 2 hrs away and visited every other week for the last 8 months. In a week he will move to my town. I’ve established my own home and happiness and the devotion that comes from being my own. Deep down I’m terrified of moving in with another again, I’m terrified of marriage and motherhood even though a part of me wants them. I fear I’ll lose myself again. Many of my friends are mothers. I see how difficult it is to not slip away from the authentic and erotic. I want to be both, and so this piece and your honesty resonates deeply with me. Thank you. I look forward to continuing to watch your journey unfold.
