Thank you Tobi! I enjoyed reflecting on these and answering them. I really could've made each of these their own post with fully fleshed out responses, but I dialed back for the sake of the q&a lol
honestly, i thought same as i read it. They felt like independent pieces.
but guess what? now you have 5+ articles to work on. And even better you’ve already started writing them you just have to copy what you wrote and then fling open the doors to let us in even more on each of them.
Ashleigh!!!! Thank you for this! I’m especially moved by your admission that writing can sometimes mean compartmentalizing life, and that includes motherhood. Thank you for saying you do not feel bad about it either. Many moms need that energy, including myself. We’re people, too.
Yess!! Society wants us to die to ourselves for the sake of motherhood but I know better. I can’t be the best mother I can be if I’m burnt out and unfulfilled.
This is truly amazing. You have such a poignant, clear, voice. I also really love this q+a format. thank you so much for sharing yourself with us like this !
I really appreciated this, Ashleigh! As I sit here homeschooling and sneak-reading, I have to think about what compartmentalization to write looks like here. You're inspiring me.
Thank you Sharifa, I’m honored that you’re using your sneak reading time on little ole me! When I joined, I gave myself permission to play here and freedom to switch it up!
you really took the time to reflect!!this must have been so therapeutic!! i need to do this at some point.
questions from readers can sometimes take us down memory lanes we would never have visited ourselves.
