Just realized it’s been ages since I posted a selfie on the ‘gram…and realized that’s probably because I rarely take a selfie without baby H, nowadays. Ben and I decided to not post photos of him except on Facebook because all my other profiles are associated with my semi-internet-infamous handle, lightspeedsound. We didn’t want to make his life visible to strangers before he could truly consent to being posted publicly. Being a mother has been the hardest and most rewarding experience ever, and it’s definitely the defining feature of my life right now. It’s a very singular experience to have your entire life centered around the wellbeing of another human being (even a very tiny one). And everybody keeps saying “don’t lose yourself in motherhood!” But I don’t think I am. I think I’m recreating myself. Which is just a self indulgent, long winded, introspective way to say “I wanted to take a damn selfie tonight.” Document your self indulgence, YALL https://www.instagram.com/p/Cde8kVxNZkweaySNmyaZtYLMq29TTkoUE_v8yQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI= -- source link
