“I am what I am
And what I am
needs no excuses…..”
from La Cage aux Folles
What’s more I am not a clothes label, a newspaper, a TV channel, a political party, a make of car, a holiday desitination or a brand of buggy.
I am not yummy, slummy, earthy, alpha, retro, attachment, middle-class, chav, cloth nappy, baby-wearing, organic, non-organic, controlled-crying, vegetarian, meat-eating, feminist, traditionalist, designer, liberal, conservative, socialist, scrounging, breastfeeding, bottlefeeding, over-anxious, boho, pushy, unmarried, single, teenage or aging – or any of the other ‘labels’ you wish to bestow on me.
I am a mum. And I am so much more besides.
Yeah me too! I refused to be defined. Apart from being a mum and a journalist. And a chocoholic. And a Colin Farrell fan. Yeah apart from that.
I wish I was yummy!!
I so so love this. I am a person, not a label
wonderful, so very true!
Love it! Now just need to remind myself that being thin will not equal being happy & successful!!
SO true – along with all the WAHM, SAHM, labels that the press love to use !!
So true, we could all be one or ten of those things but they are not what define us as we’re all perfectly unique!
