*I* Created My Identity
A Stay@Home Mom Writes…
About me:
Oh, Yeah! You might have read those 160 words about me on my medium profile page. But I am more than those limited number of words…
Yes! As it states, I am a stay@home mom but *not jobless*. In fact, I have multiple jobs — Babysitting, grocery shopping,vessel washing,cooking,laundry, toilet cleaning and sweeping(Oh no! Not *sleeping*). I could rather say,”I work for free” but this penny-less job is my life that I adore and will never give up at any cost.
What about all those degrees, B.sc., M.sc., Ph.D.,?
Yeah! Nothing to worry about them. They are indeed safe in my locker.
Those qualifications have become worthless in comparison to *Mom*, the greatest of all qualifications.
Motherhood is the gift of nature. I accept with all my heart. I am proud of my *mom* identity.
But…
I didn’t want it to be my only identity.
Who am I?
I am sure, every stay@home mom’s mind may have encountered this tough question.
Some maybe happy with their mom only identity, some having their own fears may have blatantly ignored this question. For some, answer to this may have no purpose in their lives. AND some cognize — I am one of those moms.
I wanted an Identity not that which comes by default but one that I create — Chirag
Not long long ago but only in the month of June,2019, I compelled myself to write a fiction short story, *Black Cat And Dark Human Mind* — To create an Identity,*A Writer*
Wonder, Why I created Writer?
Answer is simple.
I love reading a lot(Makes sense?)
Reading not just gives me an immense joy but acts like a harness — to keep control on my great levels of anxiety and irresistible,unpredictable, and hopeless\meaningless negative thoughts.
Readers give birth to writers (Hope now it makes more sense)
I identified myself as *A writer*
Because I was hopeful, my lots and lots of reading experience would help me *create a writer* in me.
Did I succeed?
Positively,”Yes!”
I can write poems, short stories, essays and articles.
Are you a stay@home mother?
An avid reader?
But having your doubts and fear
that you can never be a writer?
Don’t fear anymore,
Every reader is by default a writer…
My sincere call to Moms’ fraternity,
Take a deep breath,
And just give birth
of your true identity…
— Chirag
