Itβs EVA LIKE FOREVA ππ (now try to forget it π)
#namegame #momlife #reels #italiangirlproblems
βI am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edges
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when weβd given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.
This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like Iβm hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
of your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.
And I will not be afraid
of your scars.
I know sometimes
itβs still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether itβs the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing Iβve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.β
– Clementine Von Radics, βMouthful Of Foreversβ

The kids were just with their Dad for their February Break, Ian and I were NOT traveling anywhere during that timeβ¦and we ended up home while the kids were gone for 8 days. And it was WILD. π€ͺπ₯Ήπ π€π»
It was at times heavenly, and at other times extremely hard. It was strange and quiet, and blissful. It was empty, and by the end, it was full with a new energy in our relationship as partners and parents. The whole thing was an education on many different levels, and it inspired me to write a blog post today on HappilyEvaAfter.com about all the things I realized and learned.
I like sharing things like this, not in spite of them making me vulnerable to lots of opinions and Hot Takes, but because of it. The truth is that we all have a very different, but collective, parenting experience. But we seldom hear about the raw truths of it because we fear the blowback.
Iβve realized that unless we know that other experiences may overlap with our own, we can feel extremely alienated on our parenting journeys. I hope todayβs post makes you feel less aloneβ not necessarily because you feel the same, but maybe because you feel exactly DIFFERENT than I feel, and that it makes you feel more of a right to your own experience being what it is.
The piece is a little bit funny, a little bit poignant, and a lotta bit honest. Check it out! Xx
