So, as the three family members who regularly read this might have noticed, I’ve taken somewhat of an extended break from posting anything here for a while now.
Or, really, putting much of anything anywhere related to social media. Except for the pictures of plants and pretty butterflies that I put on Instagram. With those I’m very consistent.
I didn’t really consciously decide to take a break. It’s just that every time I would start to post something, I would instantly start to overthink it and go do something else instead. And a few weeks turned into a few months.The truth is that it’s just a weird time for someone who already scrutinizes every thought she has to go posting them to the world.
I already overthink every conversation I have and what I might have possibly said to make someone the slightest bit uncomfortable. And that’s just the in-person conversations where I at least have faith that what I said had context to go along with it. It’s as overwhelming as it sounds. So… I just kind of stopped putting anything out there.
But then last week, I kind of changed my mind.
Mainly because I saw a 2013 joke post from a blogger randomly get put out on Twitter with no context and make a bunch of people really, really angry. And then I decided that whatever is going to bring about my inevitable public shaming is probably lurking on an old Facebook post anyway, so I might as well tell you about funny things Brody says.
(Also, I should mention we’ve been watching a ton of Japanese wrestling and this has pretty much taken over all my thoughts. It’s the G1! More on that in a later post though.)
So, here’s a couple of good Brody quotes from my unintended break:
1. On Mother’s Day, I asked if I was the best mom. “You’re definitely not the worst, but I don’t know all the other moms, so I can’t say you’re the best.”
2. After painstakingly working on our front landscaping for hours, I asked what he thought. “I don’t know, Mother, mulch doesn’t really excite me much.”
If nothing else, motherhood should keep me humble.
I’ve missed your blogs! This definitely has me wanting to see more. No pressure here, just keep writing 😊.
