Mehtab is dovetailing his way into our lives.
There is really not much to say but to experience it and soak it all in - this feeling has been ever prevailing post our son’s birth. All this while, I would keep doing wasteful things or rather would continue in state of non-awareness, but his face, the very thought of him growing up fast, really makes me stop and spend time with him. Not that I am giving my best as yet, but I can definitely say I am improving since the months of his birth.
My life has changed, I have changed - and for the lack of better word it's a rollercoaster for sure and given an option, I would not have it any other way. I am trying to give expression to my softer side for my son, I am trying not to hold it back, I am opening myself up again. The balance is what I look for, between the world outside and home, for the rules are different for both. I am trying.
No idea where all this will lead to, no particular aim as such - but yes I want to soak it all in, for I realise the truth in wisdom of others, that kids grow fast and time would fly past unbeknown to me. By the time, he grows up we would be in the dusk of our lives and peak would be long past us - so yes it is all here now, in this moment and I am trying to scoop up every bit of it.
In these past months, I have gone through a myriad of emotions and learnt to keep my mouth shut on subjects of which I have no experience of. Never thought I would have pics of kid in my phone (thought of it as weak), never thought I would laugh and giggle with a newborn, never thought I had the ability to feel what I am feeling now. For a while I did try to hold on to my brute self, which has fostered in me over the years of getting kicked around - but now I switch; I try to move quick and try not to hold on too long. I am not willing to get swayed by either side of mine, but I have to acknowledge and accept presence of both.
So yea…. evolution maybe
