You have to make space in the life that you have for the person who you are to breathe. She was not put here to survive. She was not put in this world to be something for others or to struggle. She was put here to be magnificent. She was put here for a purpose. And when she gets some space to come out, life starts to feel really different. ...

Hiding your 🔥? How’s it going?

It’s Sunday morning here. Start of the school holidays in WA. Husband and second born daughter off to work (when it rains the weeds grow, and she’s working towards her first car 🚗 and also $ is a thing she now gets and values) and the rest are entrenched in friends and tech. When you’re a 15 year old boy tech and friends seem to be the same thing. He’s only just started having friends over. Sometimes I listen at the top of the stairs and have no freaking idea what they are even talking about. I am a bit nervous about feeding them. Have stocked up on instant noodles and stuff to make toastier. Carbs and salt. Will that do?
When you’re almost 12 and this girl, friends are life and tech is about communicating with friends and looking cute doing dances. When I was her age I still lived on the farm and went to a school with about 50 kids, 7 or 8 my age and one of them my first cousin (he’s still cool @deep_stu). I did not know how to look cute or dance or that one day I would have a mobile phone! But then I went to boarding school and spent my entire life (awake and asleep) with my friends and not my parents. Although I did get to speak to my parents once or twice a week on the pay phone 😉. And friends were life, and so was putting song requests on the radio.
When you’re nearly 10 and a girl who has always been the youngest tech is everything. You communicate with friends via tech to play tech together. At night, when everyone is in bed you sneak onto your Mum’s phone (which gets left in the kitchen because she does not believe in phones in bedrooms because she’s old school like that) and buy in-App purchases on her credit card because she doesn’t think she needs to block in-App purchases for herself or keep all her passcodes safe from her kids. When you get busted (after 4 nights at $50 per night) you cry when she says she’ll delete the app because you ‘worked so hard to create the level you’re at’. This is BS as the level was created with her money, and she knows it. After two weeks of tech bans, handing over all your cash, and everybody knowing about the whole fiasco, you can now call your friends again to play games. Cont 👇 ...
