Me + You

March 12, 2018 by Dixie Perkinson in life

This whole blog thing is weird, right? Like I’m being so open and personal with you and most of you guys don’t really know me. So why am I doing it? No really. Why am I doing this? 

Well, it’s strange how now more than ever, I’m longing for a mother. Perhaps it’s because I feel like I’m finally growing up. Yes, I’m almost 35 (don’t tell anyone) and am single, childless, and don’t even have a theatrical agent. BUT I also am self-supporting (finally), have worked through a lot of issues, and am growing into the person I’ve always wanted to be. Yet, I’m scared. Now is the time I wish I had my mother. I wish I could hide behind my mother’s skirt and tug at her apron strings to get her attention. (The little that I know of my mother, I don’t think she would have worn an apron. Fine. Tugged at her European designer dress). But mainly, I wish I could go back in time and just be a toddler…looking over my shoulder and making sure that she’s watching me and encouraging me to continue into whatever exciting adventure I was undertaking, reminding me that it’s okay and that I’m safe. 

But I’m not a toddler and my mom is dead and has been dead since I could remember.  

So now I’m looking over my shoulder, and it’s you guys. Yes. You. 

Now, I’m not calling you my mom, don’t worry. But I am inviting you in, because I need a witness. 

So will you all please subscribe to my blog for fuck’s sake?!

Love, 

Dixie
