This Is My Dream. Someday Ill Have A Sunroom Or A Converted School Bus, With Windows And Growing Things

This is my dream. Someday I’ll have a sunroom or a converted school bus, with windows and growing things everywhere, and a place for me to sleep that is a retreat. Protected from interruptions and unpleasant things. Peace.

a perfect place for solitude.

Sweet souls sometimes have to just say it. Even when they don’t want to. Andre is an angel

This is just so lovely. As I am cresting the hill (I’m 44) it’s less likely to find praise or inspiration in regards to aging. For women in particular, it can be very isolating when you slowly become sort of invisible. I see some men gain status as they age and I believe it’s because our society grants men grace by calling older men “wise” “distinguished” “leaders” sometimes because they are, but also just as a natural consequence of this patriarchy. Women are measured differently. Often unfairly written off as too much, too wrinkly or saggy or whatever else that is naturally associated with birthing children and sacrificing their own lives to care for family.

Let’s not forget that women (including trans women) are natural kin keepers- keeping the family or found-family together and cared for. The matriarchs are who remember the birthdays, the distant friends or family, and they work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the community together.

Powerful and graceful, and likely cranky and sharp tongued, they deserve the world. I hope to live up the mothers and grandmothers before me.
