Whose land am I on?

SETTLING INTO OUR NEW LIFE IN THE SOUTHERN GULF ISLANDS
5 MONTHS IN.
This is our update 5 months in on our little hobby farm, I let you know all the things. Like, how we’re settling in? Do the kids like school? How many chickens do you have, what type are they, are there roosters, what do they eat and why are they so cute? Secret Project what now? It's a lot to catch up on. I’ve covered most of it in just less than 5 minutes.
SKINNED KNEES MEAN YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT
This move and all these new things that I happen to have now clue how to do have brought up all my shit.
My perpetual face plants, stumbles + skinned knees have forced me to re-examine my relationship with masculinity, perfectionism, + self worth. It has made me check my ego + learn to ask for help. It’s made me take my own medicine when parenting my kids. And it’s made me wonder why we lose the ability to fail on purpose, pushing ourselves to our edges as we grow?
