Years after I started this Blog, my purpose has not changed yet. And that is to remind my self, and hopefully all the woman especially mothers, that we are capable of anything.
The Pandemic lead me to another journey in motherhood. Functional, Hybrid, Adaptive. Both as a mother and as a wife. Did i ever signed up for 7days working mom and a fulltime mom/house wive? Well its a non negotiable role for me to take right now.
The real discussion in this post is, somehow i figured that being adaptive to a situation is one of the greatest strength and capability of human. To break the “it’s impossible to work full time and be a SAHM and still survive the Pandemic crisis” seems…… almost impossible. But we’re now in the 2022, and we have food we have roof, we have waters, we have School still going. We Adapt and we did it!
I’ve listened, i’ve seen, i’ve Heard many heartbreaking stories how Mothers are struggling with marriage, Hybrid Schools, Uncertain rules & regulations and how complaining about Life or a situation – keeps showing in IG stories or Whatsapp Stats or Whatsapp chats, and apparently, I actually was “one” of them – the only different is I Scream in Silent.
Why? Cause I know, posting it wont give me any result, maybe (just maybe) only attention. But react , respond to it, will. It’s either i accept the changes, the uncomfortable and deal with it. Or i keep demand for changes and attentions.
As i write this post, I’m on day 1 self quarantine, again. This is my 2nd time with Covid. Only this time, my symptom is just OBVIOUS. Omicron got me, they met me at my weakest moment. The moment when i was Overthinking, worried too much, over trained, obsessed with weight loss and sleep deprived. It just got me. But i Respond better this time. I decided to fight with peace. Cause this Omi wants us to stress.
Well I AM! Still! But i also try hard not too, in which i Let go. I try to enjoy the time im having, with Zooms, with Books, with studying more intense cause i have Plenty of Times. To exercise better, to just deal with it and know that I’ll come out smarter and better.
My Function is now changing, again. But just like the muscles in our body, we’ve been trained before, so we know what to do, and we aware of anything. And once this Pandemic, endemic ‘…whatever the world decides to call it..- over, i hope we all be better, stronger.
