I posted this very “real” photo of myself on substack without thinking twice and of course it ended up being my most popular post to date. 🙃

(almost went viral might be a stretch but it got 20x more likes than my usual content lol)

“awake before the toddler, face routine done, nursing the baby, coffee in hand — life is good.” that’s all I wrote!

but as simple as it was, it connected a handful of new faces to my page.

mainly because it felt human. (i think.)

maybe we need to to witness people being people more often.

especially offline, in our day-to-day.

• over a cup of coffee, having an unfiltered chat with a friend.

• as we approach a neighbor on a walk… and choose to stop instead of pass them by.

• during a good cry with a loved one, as you melt into a hug.

• and everything in between.

but online too.

anyway, hi! if you’re new here, i’m demri.

mom of two under 3, artist, photographer, writer + open to what’s next.

this space is evolving as i do, and i’m learning as i go.

so thank you for being here 🙂 i hope my page can inspire you to also get curious about the things that light you up, bringing you closer to yourself and others.

+ a little closing reminder:

it’s never too late to start again xx

misc. lessons from motherhood that have nothing to do with being a mom 🤍

— edm is the equivalent of a nervous system cleanse

— girlhood / womanhood / female friendships are literally everything + we need more of it.

— wanting your surroundings to feel good isn’t needy or extra. our environments affect us. color, a favorite scent, the right lighting + things we find beautiful can quiet the brain, soothe the nervous system + make room for creativity.

— nature + putting away the phone. that’s all lol

— getting ready for the day can 100% be an act of self care.

— our bodies were never meant to be judged, compared, shamed or overly sexualized. and learning about our own sensuality + healing our relationship with it isn’t taboo. it’s actually really fu***ng necessary.

— the email can wait. the book can be written slowly. you don’t have to know what’s next yet. time is literally a trip + i’m increasingly convinced we’ve made it way more important than it needs to be.

— romanticizing the day-to-day keeps us sane.

motherhood can be one of the greatest loves of our lives without becoming the entirety of who we are.

we’re still whole human beings. still curious. still becoming. still meeting ourselves along the way.

things i noticed (+ want to remember) ☁️

10/06/2026

Lately I’ve been thinking about what it means to embody the thing you want…

I’ve wanted to paint for years.

Not necessarily to become a painter or because I thought it would turn into anything. I just felt pulled towards it… and yet, I kept finding reasons why now wasn’t the right time.

But the truth is, sometimes becoming the thing you want to be is really just… doing the thing.

It sounds so simple when we put it like that. And so I decided to begin.

I bought some paint. Set up an easel. (The one that’s been waiting for me in storage — thank you Charlie! I miss you.) And started making things I don’t really know how to make yet.

Some of it I love. Some of it I paint over. Mostly I have no idea what i’m doing lol.

And yet, I’m doing it.

I think there’s something really freeing about letting yourself be a beginner again. Not needing to know where it’s going or whether you’re “good” at it yet. Not needing to earn the title before you’re allowed to make the thing.

Because making it because you want to, is enough.

Maybe that’s what it’s about afterall.

If you’ve been beginning something too (or feeling pulled to it) I’d love to hear what it is 🤍
