As parents we do what we think best for our kids given the resources we have at hand. Whether you’re rich or poor doesn’t matter a bit though when it comes to what they need most. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to parcel up things like happiness, love and joy and simply hand it to them? Perhaps. But then they wouldn’t learn much of life for themselves that way either. It would be like looking at someone’s vacation photos instead of being there experiencing it and saying it’s the same thing.

It’s funny to look back on my writing and see the “light bulb” moments in life entwined in amongst the words. Reflections of Self was written a number of months after Mask. It illustrates how the experience of depression captured in Mask can in fact be overcome. Not necessarily in a flash of brilliance or overnight but with simply a small glimmering of hope for change, because sometimes that’s all we need to set ourselves upon the road to recovery. Reflections of Self is a poem about turning points and tells the story of mine.

I wrote Mask a number of years ago when I was struggling with a serious bout of depression amidst a failing marriage but was too proud, stubborn and ashamed to admit it to anyone else. I could barely accept it within myself, let alone ask for help. To me it would have been equivalent to admitting I wasn’t in control of my life and for this real perfectionist, that was unthinkable.
