let's play pretend.

What I like the most about being a mom is the fact that all my silliness and childhood energy comes back from time to time, it reminds me of life before the bullshit, before things got complicated. I could sit down with Abbey and talk about silly things, and lose myself in the moment with her. Is kinda what Angelina Jolie said recently "At some point, I got closed off, darker. I don't remember anything happening. I think you just get hit with the realities of certain things in life, think too much, start to realize the world isn't as you wished it would be, so you deepen. Then, as I had kids and got older -- being goofy, lighter -- it all came back"
So, Monday's here again and the weekend was so fun, got to dress up like pirates saturday and board a ship for a wedding, got to dance and watch drunk people fall off stages friday night, got to spend some alone time which is good also and got to basically spend time with Abbey and take care of things. Isn't life a big pretend game? We pretend things don't bother us, we pretend they do, we pretend is okay, we pretend is not, sometimes it's crucial that we do this in order to move on, I'm not one to wear masks or put up fronts, but sometimes is necessary in order to go on with yourself, with your life, with the timing of things. I'm doing good, in the process and playing with it the best way I can.
