I began this life as a goldfish, confined to a small space and eager to get out. Each day was long & repeatative and all I could do was swim in circles.
When I turned 17, I decided to trade in my flippers for a pair of wings, and flew to the ocean where the air was fresh and it was easy to glide through each day with a smile. I met new people, tried new things and for just a while I left my responsibilities behind for some careless adventure and light-hearted fun.
I fell in love with another shape-shifter like myself and when we grew tired of our careless adventuring we migrated to Sydney; a City where the buildings are tall, the streets are dirty and solemn faced penguins go about their business... trying to breath in the polluted air and avoiding how unhappy they truly are.
A short time after we arrived in Sydney I fell in a puddle, and instead of jumping out quickly to preserve my feathers... I stayed just long enough to grow gills again & just long enough for the puddle to dry.
So now I am a goldfish... without a bowl, gasping for air, choking on the city smoke & desperate to be put back in the water.
*******************************************************
I am Bekk. I am 20years old and about to become a Mom. I am in love with a great man, but somehow still find myself feeling completely lost and alone. I am surrounded by strangers in an unknown place and all I want is a familiar or friendly face. I can't wait for my daughter to be born, or to start a family... but I really wish I didn't have to go through it all alone.
90s child, with an 80s heart.
