Look I have Beeeeeen wanting to get back into writing my thoughts down for quite a bit now. Not sure where this will take me but this is me doing instead of talking about writing again. By the way I do make up/join words and can ramble to oblivion...
I call her monkey warrior princess because:
*Monkey: She is a child: monkey-see monkey-do , Ifu is playing 90% of the time she’s
awake, and it’s a cute word when said right. Hahaha she’s
my 2 year old daughter dude!
*Warrior: She is fearless – and even if she was a he, I hope
to raise children that continue to be fearless, strong, brave, doers and disciplined.Just a pinch of Warrior tendencies nje.
*Princess: simply and stereotypically this means girl =princess and boy=prince, because she is
mine and I consider myself “queenlike” , I live to serve her the best way I
can, I love her hard and so forth.
Speaking of, I think some of the parents will relate: I was
suffering from “mommy guilt”. Now this started from having to go back to work
after maternity leave; that first day at crèche were Ifunanya cried like I was throwing her into a lions den; worrying
if the people that look after her…actually look after her; getting sick over not
spending enough time with her; the guilt of when I was indulging (Friday night drink
with friends), and making sure she doesn’t kill herself or turn out to be a shitty person. The list
is endless! At some point I even felt guilty for her dad being in Australia and worried for her future daddy issues. But I have dealt with the guilt by changing what I can to not feel so much guilt, make sense of
time, what I do and people in my/her life and the roles they play and also accept
that which I cannot change. This peace didn't get here overnight and I am sure it will be a "thing" in my life till I die.
Let me not even get started on the “Mandela pressure.” This
has to do with my hero/god complex. Like sa(er)ving the world, Being a life coach,
feeding the ego, being part of the good, my sharing nature and all the being
spoilty blessed life thus feeling the need to reciprocate awesomess.
I think I will
get into detail in Part 2, when I get into my intrusive persona/ mindfulness/ introspective/ and visions journey.
