thinking a lot about the intersection of being a woman and a mother recently, one of which I am not and hence the curiosity.....I think that we often end up motherly as a part of how we are socialized, like people who look through a maternal lens at a lot of the world, but then is being a literal mother who will burn the world for her child's life in opposition to this motherly way of being? Do we lose that when we become actual mothers?
Idk, past selves don't know either. Bless your heart if you read this....any and all insights on mothering or womaning welcome
