Dearest brain, [pets] I know it's hard to accept that we will never grow up to be Jackie Chan. I know that you've been told all your life that "you can do anything you want." But the fact is, pregnancy and childrearing have completely fucked up the entire range of muscles necessary to hold ourselves erect. The simple fact is that there is NO position that is particularly comfortable, There are very few activities that we can do pain-free, and some of the bending and lifting is right the fuck out. And that's okay. Stop beating yourself up about being lazy, or not wanting it enough, or whatever bullshit all those outside voices have drummed into our head.
I am NOT weak, I am NOT lazy, I am NOT unmotivated. I CAN keep moving on the path to create the life I want, to seize the freedom I need, to make the decisions I want to make, and have the best life I can build.
