My Humor Became Sharper, My Patience Thinner, My Mind Brighter”

Motherhood didn’t dull me.

It sharpened me.

Something about balancing feeding schedules with endocrine research papers while navigating predatory medical norms gives you a particular kind of wit —

the type that could cut diamonds if pointed correctly.

I learned to laugh at absurdity.

I learned to decode systems.

I learned to survive and intellectualize simultaneously.

(Still can’t make dinner and fold laundry simultaneously though…lemons)
