Taking a break from my watercolour to take part on this ‘write your name’ activity as part of mental health day awareness.
.
– Since becoming a mum and quit my social work job, I had struggle with my identity. I am no longer “melissa”,.. I am “Ben’s mum”.
.
– So am doing this activity and also as an introduction to myself as a reminder I am more than just these kids mother and their snack bitch:p
.
– I dont have a last name. So I started calling myself melissa dot .. as in melissa (.)
.
– There is nothing i love more than eating. If i was to be granted 3 wishes.. one of them would be that sugar is healthy.
.
– As much as I love eating, I dont like cooking. Or cleaning. Or any other houseworks actually. So I am a really crappy housewife.
.
– I have always like doodling. But I doodle more regularly since becoming a mum as an escape.
.
– my other escape is reading fictions, swimming and paint my nails. When am stress, I go to chemist and buy one new colour. :p but my fav colour is black.. so I have 10 shades of black in my collection.
.
– I love indoor plants. I like the look of them. But I am crap at keeping them alive. My husband is the one who looks after them.
.
– I have regular counselling with a psychologist since I have Amelia. Because murdering your husband is illegal.
.
That’s all. I just had my counselling session this morning and I feel like my cup is no longer empty. 🙂
