Why did I think I’d escape the good ol cliche “mid life crisis”? Oh yeah, because I was sure I already went through one like ten years ago. Yet here we are.
I keep coming across reminders that I need to “Reclaim a part of myself”. The random stale Camel from the pack I’ve had for 3 years because I quit smoking 6 years ago. A renewed passion for music and concerts (since I was the local ska princess 20+ years ago lol). And craving urbex, deep conversations, and fun parties.
Or at least an occasional break from homeschooling, making dinners, & attempting to clean the house (always a futile goal).
Is it a mid life crisis though? Or emotional burnout from all the bullshit I’ve been through the past few years (caregiving, stress, the world melting down)?
Yeah, probably both.
Could be worse though, I suppose… 😉
🔥 Reclaiming yourself isn’t selfish — it’s survival.

I homeschooled as well! Just remember “I am rooted in peace, knowing that this moment is temporary and I am growing through it.”
Homeschooling, someday will be your greatest memories-you got this. Thanks for sharing a great post!

Thank you!! ❤️ You’re absolutely right – in the thick of the daily grind, it can get maddening, but stepping back & seeing how much they learn & grow is so beautiful & motivating 🤗 Thanks for your kind words!!
