Yolandi: Ugh, guess what? Mixed up my nudes, sent 'em to my wife? Panic mode!
So, you're wondering how a single mom from SA like me ended up with nude pics flying around? Guess that's what happens when you're trying to make art and raise a kid at the same time?
What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost
Okay, buckle up, my friend. So, I'm painting, right? And I gotta take those nude pics 'cause it's art, you get it?
And then, in a moment of pure distraction, my kid does something that makes me miss my deadline.
In my haste, I hit send instead of save, and now my wife's inbox is flooded with nude pictures of me. Can you imagine her reaction?
"Honey, I can explain!" is not the best way to start any conversation, especially not with your spouse.
And let me tell you, my wife was not impressed. She's a fellow artist, she gets the whole nude thing, but sending them to her without context? That's just messed up.
Now, you'd think she'd at least understand, right? I mean, we're both artists, we speak the same language. But no, she's furious. Who could blame her, though?
Long story short, we had a major fight. Words were said, emotions were rung out of me.
Now, I know what you're thinking, my friend. You're thinking, "Yola, you're a strong woman, a survivor of a car accident, a single mom, and a badass artist. Surely you can handle your wife's anger!"
And to that, I say, "Hell no!" I may be resilient, but even I have my breaking point. We spent hours screaming at each other, tears streaming down our faces.
In the end, we made up. We talked it out, we apologized, we worked through our emotions. But let me tell you, it wasn't easy.
The moral of the story? Be careful, my friend. In the heat of passion, in the chaos of life, take a second to think before you click that send button.
Lesson learned. I'll never underestimate the power of a well-placed pause again.
We're still working through our issues, but we're stronger for it. Our love is tested and true. And hey, we both learned a valuable lesson in the process.
