This time last year I set out on a solo vacation. Best thing I ever did as a mother. I came back rejuvenated in my role and more in love than ever.

Drag that blessed notebook out from its purgatory #morethanmotherhood
ruthrostrup.bsky.social Ruth Rostrup. Author. @ruthrostrup.bsky.social · Jan 31
Baby is napping. Pulling out my notebook from under a sleeping cat (who's hairball I was just cleaned from the floor...so picturesque).

Let's see if any writing magic can happen in these fragile minutes. 📕💫

When #ruthrostrup joins, I wonder if she’ll find this hashtag, or this one #morethanmotherhood first. 😘

A poem is displayed in soft white text on a deep maroon background. It reads: “She holds up oceans in her sleep wakes in sweat, drowned in heat. Saved the world but at what cost? We’ll never know. Under heavy nights, steeped in terror she is lost.” In the lower right corner, it says: Ruth Rostrup Mor(e) than motherhood (psst. It’s really about womanhood)

I leave her in the company of others.

#poem from #MoreThanMotherhood (psst. it's really about womanhood).
A poem appears in soft white text on a deep maroon background. It reads: “I leave my body in the company of others and slip away into a blanket of quiet. The banter and laughter of friends that once woke my soul becomes the muffled buzzing of a TV left on in the background of a kids sleepover; you drift off to the plot of a film that fades away. Did time freeze or flutter by? Was it in my safety or solace or overwhelm that my eyes glazed over. You ask ‘Hey, are you ok?’ ‘Yeh, I’m just tired.’ a voice replies, that sounds like mine.” In the lower right corner, it says: Ruth Rostrup Mor(e) than motherhood (psst. It’s really about womanhood)

A text image with a dark maroon background and a large cream-colored poem in the center. The poem reads: ‘The had the audacity / to pursue rituals purely for joy. // Away from curation / currency / and content.// And in these moments / where all others eyes were turned away // she turned up / turned it on / and found her way’ In smaller text underneath it says the author Ruth Rostrup and the name of the book that this is from “More than motherhood.” With the “e” in parenthesis. In very very very small text underneath that, there’s a secret note that reads: '(psst. It’s really about womanhood).'
