View this post on Instagram I’m having a day today... I’m feeling frustrated about having to stay home. Disappointed about Wrestlemania week and not being able to travel/dress up/meet the fans/perform. I’m discouraged about my postpartum body and not being able to workout outside the house. Sad that I can’t take my newborn to see his great grandparents. Hopeless about not seeing the end. So, I’m posting this photo from a time I didn’t worry about any of it. From 10 pounds lighter, in Florida, working for another company. Which looks happier but... I had no babies, my husband was a drug addiction, and I lived in a tiny crappy apartment (literally crappy, the sewer overflowed into the tub. TWICE, the heat only worked 4 hours at a time, and it was broken into because of the neighborhood) We all look back fondly at our younger selves but it’s not reality it’s a fantasy. In a few months or a few years, I will look back and this time wishing that I could have these endless days back, when the kids were babies, we were younger, and we had no schedule. It’s perspective and today I may be having a day but tomorrow, today will look amazing. Yesterday is a fantasy. Be present in today. Because soon today will be yesterday. #day7 #coping #postpartum #coronacansuckit #tryingtosmile A post shared by Maria Kanellis-Bennett (@mariakanellis) on Mar 21, 2020 at 10:04am PDT
