Art imitating life imitating art... the lines are blurred and I can’t find where Audrey ends and I begin. The more I dive into this challenge (now day 30!), the more I peel off layers of my self; my soul; my experience... to slap onto the canvas. I am tired. I am tossing these pins up in the air and I juggle with strength gathered from the blood in my veins; thirsty blood that is pumping and driving me to something. I don’t know what it is, but it’s been begging to be unleashed... my body is the train that will get me there. And I don’t even know where “there” is. I just know that I’m following my instinct. And my instinct says... hey girl, keep going.
I guess it’s like when I was training myself for natural birth. For 9 months I for reals gave all of my time and energy into building a plan and solid foundation for the big arrival of my little girl; I’m surprised I didn’t get certified in midwifery. Natural birth was going to bring me way down to the primal darkness inside of me and I wanted to look at that darkness in the face and say, “Is that all you got!?” I ended up being in labor for 21 hours; half in active labor. After 9 hours of me protesting, the nurses finally convinced me to accept pitocin because I was nearly 2 weeks overdue with a big ass baby. The shift change in nurses got them trigger happy because there were a few hours there where the waves didn’t exist. The natural pain I trained for was just a relentless pain that I will never forget. We spent hours watching my contractions on a machine not level out or give in. So I didn’t get the natural birth I was wanting, but I went to that dark place and I said, “Is that all you got!?”
This challenge feels like that. Like I am giving birth to something. Thanks for listening. I know I can do this. But I’m only human. And I’m tired. But I’m hungry. #10 more days.
What do you feel when you see her? What do you feel when you hear the music paired with her? I wish I could see your insides on the outsides too. That’d be a real connection I think.
I wonder what she’ll look like tomorrow!! 🥂 🥳🎨🎥🍿
