🙋🏻♀️ah yes to the midlife crisis. Kind of feeling like I never finished the 1/4 life one but here we are. If you haven’t yet listened to Glennons podcast ep with Sheryl Strayed they remind us that crisis means ‘to sift’ and it’ll make you feel better.
This post really resonated, having cleared out our kitchen prior to renovation i agonised over odd plates and cups that had do many memories attached to them. Cups and saucers used for a baby shower tea party, small crockery used by my child as a toddler. There’s some interesting research that says that we hold onto things more when we are less certain of who we are, and I think I can understand that psychologically. Perhaps it’s who I was when I hosted that tea party, or spoon fed my little one that I’m trying to hold onto a little longer!
I really enjoy reading your blogs, and especially love how you weave the past and present together 💛
Thank you so much for reading, Leila! I love that insight about being less certain of who we are — and totally relate to the tiny spoons and forks! It’s hard to let go of those baby moments!
