I wanted to desperatly to be a mermaid as a child oh my god. Going to the beach and playing in the waves was so freeing I would stay in the water for hours. Of course goggles always on. To see under water was such a goal of mine.
Oh, to float on the water all day… be tickled by the breeze, bob up and down with the waves, maybe spot some aquatic wildlife, be a perch for gulls and such, a napping spot for some seals… what a life
I am going to the ocean later in the summer which I am very, very excited about. I would love to be in the water more often in general, but my situation does not make that easy whatsoever. I want to take advantage of my beautiful yard as much as possible. I want to love and appreciate my body as it is still going through postpartum changes. I want to be sun kissed and smell like sunscreen. I want to eat food fresh from the garden. I want to dance and sing and connect and love.
I think the biggest thing my therapist helped me realize is that moments that are tough or seasons of your life that seem impossible will not last forever. It is not about sitting in the struggle but understanding how to effectively work through it.
accept the love that is presented to you and do not run away from it, each opportunity to hang is a bid for connection, take them in stride and with open arms
