The Vessel

I have a bucket list, like everyone else and one amongst many is travelling and sightseeing all the beautiful places on earth, except I don't want to be stuck in traffic or any other situation unknown.

I am a mother too, which like most mothers, do have thoughts which make me want to escape I always think if I were to escape the mundane yet very important task of feeding, changing diapers, burping etc like a clockwork, I would very much want to be in a white egg-like pod. Not big at all, but just right to move, sleep, jump, jog and read with nothing but silence.

As I write, my 4-year-old, who has of late started barking like a puppy (paw-patrol effect) is standing behind and doing the same and the little baby continues to howl like a cub over stuck burpees. Life And right now is truly a musical world.

I have also not been updating myself on most things that don't concern my children. I know about healthy food, cooking a nutritious meal and ensuring they are taken care of quite nicely until they can do it themselves. That doesn't make me a fool.

Sadly mothers/ fathers who leave all their ambitions behind to care for the children are looked down upon society. It's the working/earning value of a person that matters these days. 

My son and daughter are what I will leave as a mark and they theirs. It will be wise to admit that being a mother is more than spreadsheets and meetings. It is everything that is more rewarding, realistic and fulfilling than anything else in the world... hmmm maybe!
