When I started this journey, I never thought I'd be putting my ideas into a blog. I certainly didn't think that it would become something that I wanted to document. I didn't realize it would be so beneficial. I figured it would take a while to see results.
Welp, here I am.
But, I'm not a writer. I often have bad grammar and when I read my posts/tests/emails later I often find things that I should have changed before I sent them. Those changes are usually silly mistakes that would be easily spotted by a proper writer. I am not a proper writer. So, bear with me. (I just looked up if it was correct to write "bear with me" or "bare with me". That's because I'm not a writer and I lack some basic understanding of the English language. Especially written. So, if I haven't triggered you so far, you'll probably be okay. If you're cringing, I'd recommend a different blog, because you're not going to have a good time.
I decided to write in this blog to remember all the amazing moments my boys and I have experienced and learned. I love documenting memories because I often forget. Photos used to be the only thing I collected because I cherished the memories. Knowing how bad my memory is, it's important to me that things are documented. I also have had some friends ask me to share with them what I'm doing with my boys. It may be easier to see it on paper and explained clearly.
What is this all about? I started this thing called Question Quests with my sons. I saw them struggling to be abstract with ideas and they'd argue over trivial details that they saw differently. I kept explaining that people see things differently. I attempted to use examples and model behaviors of understanding even if I disagreed with them. But, they couldn't process the idea that if they saw it a certain way that another perspective could also be true or valid. This worried me. So, I devised a plan and created something called them Question Quests. They struggled at first, but, over time have opened up and thoughts seem to flow more easily. That was how I got on this road. It's turned into something wonderful that my boys and I enjoy.
A bit about us. I'm a mom, a student, a professional, I enjoy helping people, organizing events, and overthinking. I am multi-faceted, open-minded and opinionated, equally bold and sensitive personality wise. I have tattoos, more than the average, not enough to talk percentage of body coverage, but, enough to lose count. I have fun with hair color and wear a lot of black clothes. We are a blended and mixed-race family. I have a partner who sometimes joins quests in with us. He's supportive and open to the process which is awesome! He typically lets me do my thing and talks me off of the ledge when I'm getting out of hand. My sons are currently 11 and 7, both energetic and sensitive. They struggle to color inside the lines with societal rules and enjoy being free spirits. But, they're required to adhere to the rules at school and consider their impact on their fellow students and the world around them. I believe they need to learn a balance and figure out where the wiggle room is for self-expression and stretching the norm. All together, we're conquering this square-shaped world together.
