Under Pressure

Nowadays we are consumed by the media to have a life that's 'perfect', and lets be honest... That's impossible right?
Believe it or not, I get jealous about the women on films and programs who give birth (within 5 minuets) and have the 'simple' life with the house being tidy, big house, friends who come over for wine, have time to bake cakes and end up being size 6 in a day.
Oh my god.
Wouldn't that be great?
And look f***ing awesome EVERYDAY?
Yes.
......
But that isn't true is it?
Well, no it isn't.
And if you're that?
I hate you.
But I do envy people who CAN put together their careers and being a parent.
Take Amanda Palmer for example,
I follow her Instagram and she is just awesome. She does things her way and her little boy is beautiful.
She posts her singing and doing her concerts!
Me?
I take a photo and I will get the screams because I've literally looked away from Bonnie for a minuet.
Fun fact! I HAVE to get dressed in the living room because Boniver knows I'm there and she won't scream.
I literally run to the bathroom to put up my hair and rum tinted moisturiser (because who has time to look contoured when you have a screaming baby?).
So I have to dream to have a life as a successful performer.
Because I've lost my light to things I use to want to be
yet I do have my love for it that sparks every so often...
and I deeply envy those who can do it
Not tied down.
But I guess I have to wait for my next life to know what I want to do..
And so, arguing constantly with myself in my head,
I keep asking
"Who the F*** am I?"...
And get depressed because I really and honestly don't know.
