When life looks perfect but feels wrong


My two kids have just turned adults, although they try not to do any adulting lol, but I do secretly like this, as they still let me be Mum and humour me as though they still need me. I’m not put out to pasture just yet.


My youngest is 18 and is an apprentice; he is doing really well, and if he continues on his path, he will be set for life. He is saving to buy his first home, going away on holiday, having quiz nights, got his car license and just passed his motorbike theory test; proud is an understatement.


My eldest is 21, a single mum to an amazing 10-month-old little boy and is doing alright. She works part-time and is currently applying for a supervisory role, which she will hopefully get. She is starting college in September and trying to navigate life as a working mum; she doesn’t have all of the answers, nor can she sometimes see the wood from the trees, but she is trying.

Enjoying a perfect moment by the serene lakeside, embracing simple pleasures and the beauty of nature.
