Been thinking recently of how nourishing & sustaining it used to feel to me to share & write day to day on my actual grid. And now…

I’ve been silent.

For a while.

(Years).

I’m tired.

I’ve been this tired before. I think.

(The year and a half of postpartum following the birth of my firstborn was a time of f*king DARKNESS).

And I wrote a lot at that time.

Mundane stuff.

Inane stuff.

BASIC stuff.

Nothing extraordinary.

But I did it almost daily.

So now…

Why can’t I muster up the energy to open my mouth to speak?

About anything?

This past year, I feel like the Universe has stuffed my 🍑 more full of life lessons than dressing in a Thanksgiving turkey.

Divorce has been in many ways not dissimilar to first time motherhood.

It is a violent death of many things.

(It’s also birth of many better things).

So…

What is the difference?

Why my silence?

(Whyyy has this season of rebirth felt like the death of my creative voice)?

I think…

When I first started writing after my daughter was born, I had one motivation & one motivation only:

SURVIVAL.

MY survival.

Always had a thing about feeling trapped, and in motherhood, you are truly TRAPPED in such a singular, unique way, which can be an adjustment… 😜

So I wrote.

Only for me.

And my own sanity.

And now…

I’ve survived.

SO MUCH.

Pulled so much magic out of the f*king hat.

Created so much from absolutely nothing.

Tbh…

It might be my arrogance that stifles me now.

So I write this…

For me…

To free me

From all my weird expectations

That the next thing to come out of my mouth had better be the f*king Phoenix rising

Or it’s not worthy...

That the next thing out of my mouth obviously can’t just be:

“I like to bake now” 🤷🏽‍♀️

Cuz that’s not good enough…

📣

I:

Don’t know anything.

I don’t. Know. *Anything.*

I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. 📣

(Fine. It’s hyperbole. I know *SOME* things. 🙄

I know less than I think.

I know less than I’m comfortable with).

This will likely continue to be the case.

This is fine.

These are some corners of my home I’ve finished since the move.

They please me very much.

That is all.

For now. by @ainadler

Lol, I had way more aesthetically pleasing intentions for all this footage… But, I have NO BANDWIDTH for sitting around & taking the time to make it into a cute reel right now.

But it was a beautiful, quiet, cozy month settling into the new apartment, that I still feel deserves some grid space on the feed. So here’s a carousel of some random clips to wrap-up the month. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Goodbye, February.

The themes of Death & Resurrection have been very present for me as I’ve approached this particular birthday. While he had already accomplished quite a bit in the years before then… Jesus didn’t reallyyy attain the level of wild fame & global ICON status he enjoys today, until after he hit 33. That was the age sh!t really blew up & EXPLODED for him. (Yes, there was Death. But there was also a comeback for the AGES, & new unforseen heights that explode the mind). Since Jesus and I are *basically* the same person, you should know, I intend to do the same this year. 😉

A girlfriend commented that I “burned a lot of bridges this past year.” (Accurate). And isn’t that awesome?? Just more ashes for me to rise from. I am grateful for all of it & for all of the beautiful love in my life. Hold on to your wine barrels, everyone: This is 33. 🥂

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there —I bow to you, you make the world turn— & especially mine, without whom I surely would not survive! Love you, Mama. ‘Thank You’ will just never be enough. ❤️

➡️ Adorned with all of my Mother’s Day jewelry from my daughter! Bracelets, a necklace… & you can’t smell me but she also got me flowers & picked out a perfume. (Actually, not bad). 🥰

Mom-ing is as much hard work as they say (& more) and mostly totally thankless & unsung. What makes it easier, I will say, is children as sweet as mine, who are so often a boon for my weary soul.

I was changing Roman’s diaper a while back & Lily was watching
“Ew disgusting!”
“Yup.” (She’s not wrong).
“I can’t watch it’s too gross.”
(She continues to watch). “Wow. You’re getting him so nice & clean.”
“Yup. That’s what we’ve gotta do.”
As I finish up, she says with *genuine & palpably heartfelt* gratitude, “Thanks for doing that, Mom!”
😭
Who ever knew my 5 year old could make me feel so SEEN & appreciated.

And, if that wasn’t enough, my 2 year old (who’s barely starting to string discernible words together) just the other day after I finished changing his diaper said “All clean! Thank you, mommy, poo poo!”
🥲
You’re very welcome, little man.

You are most welcome.

➡️ to the end for an appropriately messy selfie of me & the loves of my life.

❤️

Finally just coming out of a debilitating season of depression.

While, it was compounded by other circumstances, I was having quite a time processing the grief over my uncle’s passing this past holiday. I observed, at his services…

Being overcome with waves of overwhelming sadness…

And then, simultaneously, this super awkward, uncomfortable, self-consciousness about it…

In the form of this voice of self-judgment in my head like, “Ew, omg, Get. It. Together! What tf are you doing? What do YOU even have to be sooo sad about?? Obviously his siblings & his children & his friends are sad! They’re actually close to him. What are YOU? Just some dime in a *literal* dozen of nieces. This moment’s not about you. Are you really one of those GROSS, pathetic tragedy wh*res who’s gonna come & cry at a funeral of someone she’s not even close enough to!? Cut it out! You’re embarrassing.”

(The voice in my head’s a real, *SWEET* Peach of a b!tch, in case you can’t tell).

But she had this really compelling rationale, like “So yes, he was the only one of your uncles to make the trip to come to your wedding… Gave you money for your honeymoon, & basically paid to furnish your first apartment… Yes, you stayed with him at his home for 3 months during the pandemic in 2020 over the holidays, while you were in your second trimester with your son… Yes, he was a hands-down once in a lifetime, awe-inspiring man… And yes, you’ll miss him… But like, for realz, tho… Have you ever even in your whole life told him “I love you?” No, you haven’t! Because you didn’t have a relationship like that, so you have no right to be sad!”

But then, I had that most poignant of realizations…

Maybe, that IS what makes it so sad.
He was an *extraordinary* man.
And I was the luckiest to even be related to him in any fashion. Let alone be so personally touched by so much of his endless generosity.
And I never told him.
And now he’s gone.
Forever.

Never told him & never even let myself get fully present to it. Why not??

You always think you’re gonna have more time with someone… And then you don’t.

There is a special kind of pain when a Giant dies…

The pain of realizing you took for granted that you’d always have their giant shoulders to stand on… Assumed they’d always be around to rely on…

The pain of regret as you desperately scan every interaction for if you appreciated them enough— was there something more you could have done or said to make sure they knew who they were for you enough…

The pain of the Unknown… Of fear of how the gaping chasm left from this loss will affect the structure of your family/ community going forward…

The pain of finally understanding that the word “Loss” means knowing *no one* will ever fill those shoes the same way…

And the wild, wild pain of Expansion… Knowing it will never be the same again, but that you have to go on & to step up in your own way… Because that’s the way to honor their legacy….

My uncle… Maminiaina Evariste, known affectionately to all of his loved ones as “Leva” … was just such a Giant.

Giant Love…

Giant Power…

Giant Light…

Giant Enemies…

Giant Generosity…

Giant Impact.

On all who met him.

I have no words to process the grief of this loss.
I still can’t believe he’s gone.
He was & is Irreplaceable.
I don’t know what our family will do without him.
But I do know that wrapped inside this ocean of sadness is so much gratitude- that we got to have him for even as long as we did- and for the legacy he has left our family.
What an incredible servant of God.
Your life was a ministry.
Rest in Peace, King.

🖤🕊️👑

My top 3 obsessions are Attention, Power, & the design/ state of my home.

I worry that I’m so superficial that if my kids were less cute than they are, I wouldn’t love them. (You can imagine, makes it scary to roll the dice & have more).

One of my favorite pastimes is plucking hairs from my husband’s face. It’s gross. I love it. And in hard times, I do in fact stay married to him only because he lets me do it & the risk is too great that the next husband won’t.

The only format in which I ever consume p🍩rn is reading it. (& yes, in case you’re wondering, they do have sites where you can read p🍩rn).

Once, during my postpartum depression, I got so mad I said “F**k you” to God, during prayer.

I have an inability to be around anyone with an accent without immediately absorbing it & mimicking it back to them. (This has been brought to my attention by my husband— who feels deeply humiliated anytime I do this, & aggressively shames me for being a douche & mocking people to their faces— because he can discern exactly who I’m on the phone with based on my accent).

I hate Italian food. I think it’s basic.

I’m incurably lazy & selfish in 🛌. Besides just Starfish… One of my hallmark moves is what my husband terms my “Unenthusiastic 🤚🏽 jobs.” (He’s more than once requested I “stop sighing”).

One of my favorite movies of all time is Sing 2. (I’m also super upset that Taron Egerton managed to make me have a crush on a cartoon gorilla).

Twice in my twenties, I got so drunk I peed in a crowded subway car.

I have an Oscar Acceptance speech ready in my heart in which I just tell everyone who’s ever been a 🍆 to me to go F**k themselves. (Between now & when that moment does come, I’ll try to think of something more… upbeat… to say).

At the beginning of my coaching business, I once got so flustered when someone reached out about my course, I literally ignored them until the launch was over.

That is all for now. Thank you for your attention.
