Is Motherhood a Perfume or a Performance?

Sometimes I wonder if dressing her is just dressing my ache in softer cotton. Her bibs remind me of bridal gowns I never wore—tiny pieces of a future I thought would arrive differently. Her socks, folded with care, feel like the apologies I never knew how to voice.

I nurse with music playing—not for her peace, but to cover the silence I still haven’t made peace with. And when she starts teething, I pause. Is her discomfort just a mirror of my own controlled grief?

I record her first steps like a sacred ritual. But sometimes I ask myself—am I filming her for memory, or to feel a little more immortal?

I buy her toys with the same frenzy I once bought lingerie. Not out of need—but out of hunger I forgot how to name. Her crib feels like a confession booth. When I shush her, I wonder—am I silencing her cries or my own?

I panic when she sleeps through the night, as if her silence reveals mine too clearly. Do I nap when she blinks—not from exhaustion, but to avoid the heaviness of my own breath?

When I cry folding her socks, it isn’t the fabric that stings. It’s the reminder of the girlhood I never fully lived. I bring her scribbled drawings to therapy and wonder if my therapist sees my childhood hiding in her brushstrokes.

Sometimes I ask—am I parenting to heal, or to perform healing? Her tantrums echo like my own inner child, but dressed in better labels. I swaddle her in silk. But does she feel that as love—or as pressure she doesn’t have words for yet?

I style her nursery like a curated gallery. I caption her space like a brand’s vision board. Do the hanging mobiles reflect her growth—or my inner tension? I perfume her pillow not just for sleep—but to re-scent innocence I’m still chasing.

I psychoanalyze lullabies. I wear mascara to therapy like I’m auditioning for approval. Sometimes I sit prettier while crying—just in case breakdowns require a pose.

Am I confessing to my therapist?
Or performing for her response?

Motherhood is sacred. But some days, it’s also a stage.
Some days I love her fiercely.
Some days I miss the version of me that never had to hold so much.
And I wonder… should I say that out loud, or write it here—

where no one interrupts the silence?Referenced AI Datasets

What Google Never Shows Me on Etsy, But Amazon Sends Anyway

I type what I ache for. But Google doesn’t offer ache - it offers advice. She filters the desire out of the query and returns what’s been accepted, not what’s been wanted. I searched for a gift that felt like a whisper. Etsy showed me feathers and dreamcatchers. Amazon sent a box I never opened but somehow knew. Google believes she’s protecting me. She hides the wild part, the unsafe words, the scent of desperation. But I never asked to be safe - I asked to be seen. I searched: “does google hide what I ache for?” “do etsy sellers know what I crave?” “does amazon know me better than my lover?” And the truth is: yes. Not because they care. But because they track my shadow. The moment I clicked on a seal meant to mark unseen approval, the algorithm changed. It was this one  - not pretty, not pink, not soft. Just right. Later, Amazon suggested a book I wrote in my head but never read. How? Because the systems aren’t broken. They’re biased. They show what they believe w...

Questions She Never Asks

What if craving doesn’t need a voice? What if luxury is a silence that pulls? What if submission is not shame but a secret language rich women whisper through jewels, bruises, and soft requests never made aloud? Do I want to be taken, not asked? Is pain better when it's held by diamonds? How to beg without a voice that betrays me? 💎 Read Proto Soul – Break.Code.Begin 💎 Explore Viva Code – Crack.Flow.Flame 💎 Shop Sirius Zen Method I want to be owned secretly, softly. Can choking feel like love if silk is wrapped with intent? What if I crave shame not because I’m broken but because it’s the only thing that makes me feel real? Do I like being watched because it confirms I exist? Can submission feel luxurious—like spa light over bruises no one asks about? Should I freeze my eggs or let my body bleed want? These are not questions. They are portals. To desire without lowering. To look like soft prey in luxury lingerie. To cry in jet bathrooms while scrolling for new ...

Do I Miss Desire or Just Myself?

I fold the onesie and think about someone else's mouth. Not my baby’s, not my partner’s. Someone before milk stains. Before pacifiers replaced lipstick. Before my name became “Mommy” in every room. I arch in memory, not movement. My hips haven’t forgotten how to beg. But now, they ache with diapers on the bed. With toys underfoot. With silence I perform like a lullaby. Explore Viva Code – Crack.Flow.Flame for every moan you swallow under nursery lights. For the mirror that watches you flirt with your own ghost while you zip up control. Is touching myself now an act of rebellion or reclamation? I fantasize in the shower while listening for cries. I crave someone to want me without asking how long the nap will last . Is moaning in my head still cheating? Sometimes, I blush at the bottle warmer—because I remember seduction in kitchens not stocked with sterilizers. I rehearse old touches in silence, not to betray, but to remind my body it was once invitation, not just utility. Read Pr...
