Motherhood is living in constant fear. Every decision you take is adjoined with a fear for repercussions and question,” Will I break my baby ? ” As much as I am amused by the stunned looks of admiration or astonishment that I’m still breastfeeding, it has been as grueling on me as it is satisfying.

Or just bury your head in the sand,…
A life should ideally be beyond love To be living in the moment Most are just in love with being in love The romance, the drama, the tears, the magic Heart meets heart Mostly heart just meets brain Real emotions and fake manipulations Everyone falls in love Either to rise high or shatter the heart Inching forward, getting back up…
