Hi. My name is Elizabeth and I am a woman. I write here because I need to express myself and don’t have time or space to paint or make films. I am a mother of two children, having started that gig at the age of 40. I also run a small business, manage a home, and hang out with my dog, my husband, and friends in that order. I attempt to write every day, I struggle with depression and anxiety, and I export loads of creativity at times.
Like many people, I do many things, but feel that I am none of these things in particular. Or, I am all of them on a bad day.
My friends and family and greater groupings of humanity matter to me. I worry about their well being. I worry about mine. I want to make things better. I’m not alone, I’m sure. But how?
I have said to myself on a number of occasions, “as long as I have a pen in my hand, I will never go crazy.” The internet is a typing medium, but it does just fine.
I hope you find something in the writing. Comfort and joy to you on your journey.
If you’d like to write to me, please email elizabeth{at}mommess.com
