Status Updates From We Were the Universe

She explains that although her child is angry, she is still calm, and the reason she doesn't stop her from having these tantrums is that later on in life, it will grow into a lifelong skill of standing up for herself when she is an adult. She also talks about how much her life has changed, and also talks about her use of physocodelics and I think it's very interesting to see that change in her life.

The author is starting to add more background and context on how the main character is and how her brain works. She used to be a wild child, and now she is faced with boring motherhood. Another character is also introduced, who is both a parallel to how the main character is and also a contradictory piece when it comes to lifestyle.

I think the way the mom is talking about how motherhood changes your life completely is extremely impactful. She describes her childhood and her teenage years, and in comparison to her present-day life, it is much different. I also like the way the author is setting up the scene as an average mom surrounded by more average moms in an average town, because it sets the story up for more room for more to happen.
