I am so afraid to be excited about seeing my kid because I feel like some invisible force has been hiding her from me. But I know that the day will come because every kid looks for their mother some day. And I will be so excited that I won't know what to do with it. Like, thinking about it makes me emotional lol. I am afraid to anticipate it. It is an entirely personal thing to my specific life and I hope that it doesn't make anyone sad. I bet a lot of people separated from their children, specifically mothers, feel the same way.

I am afraid to be excited about anything when it comes to my personal life. I get excited about music, movies, books, art, etc. But when someone is like, aren't you excited to publish or write or do anything for myself, it's like NO CAUSE I KNOW A DISASTER IS INEVITABLE HERE. I disaster rehearse despite knowing I'll probably still spiral if I experience said disaster. It sucks lol.
