#and tomorrow I get my first vaccine 💉

[malelficentbeing]

1) Let’s Begin…

Did you know you’re required to get an updated vaccination shot if your body no longer shows signs of the chickenpox virus? 💉 Never mind that I clearly remember having chickenpox in kindergarten (I missed the “Months of the Year” 🗓️ activity and was really bummed about it). Now I’m sitting here, debating on how best I can share and express my thoughts and feelings about what I’ve already gone through and what else I have yet to face, while nursing a VERY sore left arm where I had the second shot yesterday. Like the kind of sore where you have such a bad sunburn, you don’t even want to lift your arm combined with the feeling of being bludgeoned by a baseball bat. Seriously. I’m hoping tomorrow it’ll feel better. 💪🏻

I tell myself that no matter what, this small step, in addition to the many other smaller and larger steps I’ve taken and will soon take, will be worth it a million times over. 🤗

The goal (or reason for having a sore arm): To become a Mom 🤰🏻

My husband and I are trying to start a family. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦The unfortunate part is that not only is time against us, but we both are experiencing… complications. But I’m not here to talk about his hurdles. This is about me and my journey. 🙋🏻‍♀️

I am 40 years old and will level up halfway through this year. I married my husband Dan in October 2022 and we have been together since November 2018. I recall the day perfectly because I was smitten with him the moment we met. We had five dates within the first week of meeting each other and never looked back. 💕

Our story is incredible. Like a Netflix movie kind of incredible. Maybe one day I’ll share it here. 😉Through it all, Dan has been an amazing best friend, partner and husband. 👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻 We are by no means perfect people, but we are perfect for each other. After all, it took me 35 years to find him!

We are now at the part of our lives where it’s time to “settle down and build a family”. This was always on the list of things to do 📋 (hell, it was a non-negotiable for me when dating), but we prioritized building a strong foundation between us, building financial security (at least enough to start), then starting a family. This shit takes time!

Yet I feel like I’m running out of time. Time is can be both constant and evolving. I want to do everything I can to make the most of the time I have. And if my story resonates with someone else, then all the better! Because I feel a little alone in what I’ve been through already and genuinely hope that through my words, someone else out there can relate.

👋 Good morning and happy Monday! ⁣ ⁣ 🗣 Join me me tomorrow Tuesday, Nov 30th for an Instagram Live chat. Time to catch up on this year, and I would like to share some fun and interesting contemplations I’ve been thinking about during my down time resting and recovering the past couple of weeks ⁣ ⁣ 🤓 I intended to do an AMA (ask me anything) for the first time after the handstand challenge month, but then that was put off due to the hospital visit for my head hemorrhage situation. So there will be some time for questions and answers with me. Leading up to that part, I will openly share my views on the following topics:⁣ ⁣ 🧑‍⚕️ What the doctors informed me regarding my unexpected visit to the ICU and causes unexplained. It was unrelated to anything diet, movement, inversions, vaccine side effects, etc. A mystery! and such is life. ⁣ ⁣ 💉 My fascinations with vaccinations. Do you know how many jabs I’ve gotten in my life? Heck if actually know! I’ve lost count. But I’ll start by sharing about that one time I received 5 vaccines in one day before getting ready for my trip to Congo, Africa. Good times!⁣ ⁣ 🧘🏽‍♂️ I’m not “Yogi Zain” I’m Zain Syed. How did I pick this username for social media and brand it to promote my teacher profile? I’ll chat a little bit about self marketing on social media. ⁣ ⁣ 🙏🏾 My love for Iyengar Yoga practice and departure from Iyengar Yoga certification. One of the best decisions I made this year. Why and how so? Tune in to hear me out. ⁣ ⁣ 🎶 My love for music—old, new, rare, pop, underground, mainstream, instrumental, lyrical, danceable, experimental, analog, electronic and everything in between. And why I choose to teach without music in any classes. ⁣ ⁣ 🌎 And last but not least (click bait here), i believe the earth is flat!! prove me wrong. what?! You don’t wanna miss this. 😜⁣ ⁣ 🤹🏽 This IG live will be shard with good intention and humor. It’s all becomes comical to me at some point. And that’s I’ve coped with this tragic comedy of news and noise of the pandemic times.⁣ ⁣ 📲 Going live tomorrow Nov 30 @ 12pm (pacific standard time). ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3u2SUPsHQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
