A Hundred Quills
"Words.Words.I play with words, hoping that some combination, even a chance combination will say what I want" -Doris Lessing
There isn’t ENOUGH Salt in the Curry…
There isn’t enough salt in the curry
Or, oh! It’s just a little too much.
You’ve put on a few kilos
Or,oh! Lost a little too much.
Isn’t twenty-two early to marry
Or, oh! Thirty-two is a little too much.
The baby is coming very soon
Or, oh! Still not planned? That’s a little too much.
Your toddler isn’t well fed
Or,oh! Fed a little too much.
She hasn’t started talking as yet
Or,oh! Isn’t she talking a little too much.
The dress is pretty long
Or,oh! It’s slightly short- rather a little too much.
You aren’t working, why?
Or, oh! Aren’t you working a little too much?
Why don’t you stop him when he goes astray?
Or, oh! You are too bossy, men need some space- your intrusion is a little too much.
Why don’t you check your child?
Or don’t be a hitler mom- this is a little too much.
Your house is a mess
Or,oh! You are a cleanliness freak- a little too much.
Is that all the money you get?
Or, oh! Don’t you think you earn a little too much.
Sometimes things that we do are never enough
Or, oh! They are just a little too much.
So, don’t you worry
And put aside that curry
BECAUSE
No matter how hard you try
The salt will never be enough
Or, oh! It will always be a little too much.

Such a relatable post Sonia. The crowd will never ever be ok with you or your choices! I say forget them and live your own life as you want!

Nobody is perfect but it’s the imperfection in us that makes us perfect in our own sense … we just can not please every one every time and why do we even need do ….
Too good… so well articulated 👍🏻

Gorgeous, beautiful, amazingly relatable post! 😀 I too have stopped bothering about the too-much-es and the too-little-s. Anything we do will never be adequate, so might as well do exactly as we please! 😀
