there's no time for me to "get properly ready" for my shift. i just need to show up however i am. however i am, that's what the kids get i am getting the sliiiightest taste of what it's like being a parent. it doesn't matter if you're ready. whatever you are is whatever they get https://t.co/rih8KV9wPk
there was this idea in my head, that if i'm not feeling perfect, i could hide at home, say no, wait till im perfect and yeah, in the context of house parties and weekend parties? totally makes sense. not feeling it? don't go. nobody needs me there
staying at home till i felt like going was huge for me. it changed the way i relate to parties but i guess i implicitly thought i could "wait till im feeling perfect" for everything, and that's just not how it is always, especially not as a parent, and in a tiny way, here!
