The Transmogrification Of A Teacher

Indian teacher during COVID-19 lockdown

I was not born a digital child and had not, in my wildest dreams, thought that life would change so suddenly and forcefully.

A Royal Republic Day Rant 2020

India flag against blue sky and some plants

A royal republic day rant on what makes us proud to be Indian. Is it the colour of our clothes? Signs and symbols? Or is it something deeper?

⚠️Warning! Emo-grateful post ⚠️ 
I must have developed endometriosis in my twenties, because I had all the symptoms but they remained undiagnosed until my thirties. I read somewhere that endometriosis has the unique status of being a benign metastatic disease, and 11 years and 2 surgeries later, the only solution the doctors could give me was hormone therapy to stop my periods and therefore stop all internal bleeding any further growth of the endometrial tissue that was found to be growing all over my abdomen. While I rejoiced at the idea of ‘no periods!’ and pain days, I also mourned the ending of that natural process and with it the possibility to have children. I’m glad I’m over that phase!

Synthetic hormones take their toll, and I’ve been experiencing some annoying side effects like moodiness, lethargy, weight gain, lack of concentration and possible other internal changes I’m not even aware of. On so many more days than ever before, I have woken up feeling bloated, unmotivated, ugly and with no self-confidence. On so many occasions I have chosen to hide at home rather than go out, meet friends, do social things, be happy. This is what sickness does to us, it steals our joy and brings fear of judgement from others because we feel and look different and don’t feel like anyone will understand or accept us as we are.
BUT,
in all this, I couldn’t have asked for a greater God and family! Grateful to Obed for being patient and understanding with me, thankful for my two babies Schatzi and Stryper for brightening up my days with their sweetness and generously allowing me to be their mum. No judgements from these three, only love. Thankful to everyone who has prayed for us over the years, to have kids, now you know why you didn’t hear good news ;) and the greatest of all has been God, who has walked with me through it all, always letting me know that I’m not alone and giving me the strength to get through the tough days. ✨
