Partying all night on a beach reminded me I'm a person as well as a parent ✍️ Sometimes we all need a reminder that your children are an extension of you – not the whole of you. 🔵 CharleneWhite for ipaperviews
I think when you’re an older parent , that really comes to the fore. You’ve had a slightly longer adulthood without kids being a part of it, so you’ve had longer to do whatever you want. By the time you reach your mid-thirties you’re far surer of who you are, what you like, and what makes you tick. And then you have to shift all that once those babies come out of you kicking and screaming.
Sometimes it can be hard to remember that it will come back. And that is part of the reason I said yes to Cannes. I had no plans other than the work I’d be doing, and I decided just to deal with whatever came my way – and enjoy it. In the middle of dinner I said yes to going to see the rapper Nas perform on the beach that night, despite not having a ticket, which meant I had to rely on my skill of charming security guards. I partied until the early hours. It turns out that I can still be bright-eyed and bushy tailed for work after a big night out and very little sleep.
It turns out that those 24 hours were the best present I could have given myself, because it reminded me of the joy of not having to plan anything, yet managing to get the best out of everything. I had no plan when I landed in France on my delayed flight – I assumed I would end up just wandering around by myself, being a tourist for a few hours. I guess that’s what I’d planned: just to hang out with me. But the universe had other ideas.
