And there is no more feminist statement you can make to your future kids than letting them see that you have work you value apart from caring for them. & that C also values all the work you do.

This is what I am also telling myself this year. Good luck to us both. Or, rather, let us go forth and make our own luck :)

We are working together to find a way and it feels weird to rely on someone else, or ask them to believe in you to such a degree that they’d contribute money, or cover you. And I mean, actually that’s very feminist – that both people in the relationship are equally valued and both their dreams and goals are important and the focus.

Still working on the delegation!

But yeah, I was so compromising to move here and then realised that, I actually love to travel. I love to find new places, meet new people, try out different lifestyles. And that’s exactly what being with C will give me. It’s the perfect fit. AND the work I LOVE, which I am giving myself 2 years to get up to being able to offer me an income, means I can also, take it with me and go wherever. It’s pretty exciting to think about all the different vistas I might have in front of me whilst I edit and update my webstore :)

I have been so unbelievably lucky to meet my soulmate. That’s how he feels, just my perfect other half, fit. And yes, even though he’s a quiet man, his constant and unconditional love and support are amazingly sustaining.

And yeah, HOORAY for Twelfth Planet Press!

I’m sorry for not being very clear, it’s not a good week :(

:)
Yay life! It sounds like you’re enjoying stuff again, and have plans and goals and I find that so wonderful!

I would always chose my relationships over my career. And good solid relationships will nurture the other aspects of you, and find ways to make both of you happy.

12PP is such an awesome adventure. I’m so glad you’re taking it as hard and as far as you can; and I’m hoping that your learning delegation is as easy as possible.

The important thing about being a feminist is you don’t have to allow anyone else to define what that means. It certainly doesn’t have to mean working in an office your whole life to earn a particular income level (if you think about it, that’s a pretty bloody patriarchal system anyway).

The awesome thing about having work that you love which doesn’t necessarily fit into an office space, is that you can follow your passion anywhere. It’s not unfeminist to follow C wherever he goes – it’s a marvellous excuse to fit in all those many things you wanted to do with your life, and travel was definitely one of them.

I am so glad you have him there, and that the universe waited until this year to throw so many challenges your way – you’ve had him there to support you through it, and you certainly don’t have to worry that he has no idea what he’s getting into!

Hooray for Twelfth Planet Press!
