Measuring your day in how hard you made your baby laugh

every night before bed, I think of my sweet cherub baby and ask myself if I made him laugh enough today. don’t judge, just reminisce. recall all the wonderfully silly and tender moments. review the day’s photos. play loops of your baby’s laugh in your head (it’s your new favorite sound). get excited about the laughter to come tomorrow. heart fuller than its ever been.

Hang on to idyllic moments

Big Moments: * Birthing my daughter.  Was it intense?  Yes.  But it’s also insane feeling a baby exit your body… my husband and I sang “I like you as you are” to her while the midwife team was doing all their checks and what not.  It felt very perfect and so different from my son’s birth. * Floating in the Nantucket Sound and feeling at peace, a marked difference from years prior when floating would send me into brief fight or flight. Also, just being able to swim in the ocean as much as I wanted for a few days. * My son starting preschool and LOVING it.  We did a lot of preparation but I was still worried sending him off into the world without me.  It’s been awesome to see how much he’s grown in a positive way. I have had so many small moments over the past year that felt idyllic, and I’ve made a mental note to hold onto them.  Small moments with my husband, kids, other family, friends.  My day to day isn’t as expansive as it was in the past, but it’s deepened.  I love this stage of life.  It’s full of so much love.

giovannis room

if you haven’t read it yet… do. I linked the pdf it’s only 164 pages and it is so so complex and sweet and fucking horribly sad, so amazing how it’s all packed in there.

lowkey… celibacy

i find as an unhealed person who doesn’t have a good sense of self respect or mindfulness sex kind of causes a lot of problems for me interpersonal and personal. at least a break in looking at WHY you’re having sex, and what kind of sexual scripts you’re following without even realizing.. what parts of yourself are you reinforcing and/or reducing when you enter sexual situations? i think sex can be mistaken for intimacy sometimes, is this the form of intimacy that serves you best? what conditions do you think you need to have sex that makes you feel good and genuine? do you feel you have emotional agency in your sex life? (edit: also! sex is so fucking vulnerable! of course being vulnerable is how you form connections.. but to perform vulnerability is not the same and it happens a lot!) i also have a lot of personal disgust towards sexual scripts put on by pornography (violence, minors, cnc ect.) the rad fem aspect of sex/porn is a whole nother beast, i’d recommend looking into bdsm ect through that lense if it’s something you are looking for more insight towards. (obviously fuck TERF and try to avoid those rabbit holes, but radical feminism affirmed a lot of theories i had on why sex/sexuality is/are such a point of shame and contention for young people) ANYWAY, i am only 20 so take this with a grain of salt but i think that naturalism fucks with peoples potential for healthy and fulfilling sex lives, preset scripts about what it should be and what it has been. If the sex you’re having feels wrong it probably is, and you have agency to change that, just take a break and reevaluate.
