Red is holy. But, red is also sensual, red is also ambitious, red is also successful, red is also beautiful. The mother cannot be confined to just one definition of the colour. She is vivacious, she is enterprising, she is hard working and she is a person of her own. She is so much more than just a mother and she can do so much than just fit into a pre-conceived notion. Encourage her to be selfish, encourage her to take a break, encourage her to dress up in the outfit she's been wanting to wear, encourage her to be herself.
stop romanticising the sacrifices of
motherhood.
"The world gives you so much pain, and here you are making gold out of it.
There is nothing purer than that."
Rupi Kaur
Constantly being stranded between who she is and she must be, it's high time we realise that motherhood isn't all sunshine.
Seeing my mother scattering through her old pictures and letters sipping the evening chai, I just knew 'ma' was going to be a chaotic tribute to this charmer of a word.
