The amazing thing about ...

The amazing thing about becoming a parent is that you will never again be your own first priority.

I think it allows you to put yourself in other people's shoes...the empathy that it slugs you with, being a mother. And I think it makes you a better storyteller.

I'd rather rebuild my strength while dancing my ass off...literally .
