At 36, I have three kids and a great husband, and I'm enjoying a challenging but fun career. Although this is ___21___ , sometimes I feel my heart asking if this is who I truly am.
The chaos of the family kitchen ___22___ my brain: the noise of the kettle, pots and the dishes, and the conversation demands while I'm making breakfast. I escape ___23___ to my bedroom. Only in silence do I hear the self that is ___24___ from the children and wonder who that person might be.
