‘your writing makes parenthood seem beautiful.’

this is a beautiful compliment simone, thanks.

parenthood has created the most powerful emotions i’ve ever felt.

it’s so damn wonderful and scary.

you watch them grow and see them ‘gaining energy’ each day

and you can feel your energy going away too

you can feel yourself getting older

and you can feel it all happening faster

you start to ‘see how things might go’ as you get much older and they get older

and this is always like a gift somehow

even when it turns out differently than you ‘saw’ it.

differently and worse, but better too.

love how you captured the shifting moods of the day, how so much can happen internally and subtly on a sunday. i feel you about the fucking computer, worry about the shift it’s causing — giving us a newfound freedom, but taking some of the old, simple ones away. expanding the gap between the interior and exterior, making it harder to feel who we are and why we’re here. it sounds like a pat question, but i wonder sometimes if it’s really worth it.

loved the moment of passing strawberries to layla. your writing makes parenthood seem beautiful. it always seems to be layla who’s bringing you back to the moment at hand.

I also said “fucking computer” many times this weekend. And never looked back.

Totally with you. I detest that this high tech world of constant plugging in has truly unplugged (or is slowly unplugging) us from life.
