Alessandra Amoroso: an intimate monologue on motherhood
The monologue – intense, delicate and free of rhetoric – was a journey into the emotions of a future mother who turns out to be different every day. Alessandra He told the complexity of pregnancy without filters, the ambivalence of feelings and the difficulty of keeping up with a model of perfection that simply does not exist.
These are his words, reported in full:
“Since I discovered I wait for Penelope I am amazed every day of how many different emotions can be experienced together. In fact, the pregnancy is almost never beautiful or ugly, easy or difficult, serene or restless. Often it is all these things at the same time. Perhaps the real challenge is to accept this loss of balance, the ambivalence, the fact that we are venturing into an unknown territory.”
A declaration that highlights the courage of those who choose to also tell the shadows of motherhood, not only the light.
“So I chose to let all the emotions flow, the beautiful and the ugly ones, to feel them live on my body that changes day after day with me. I live joy and impatience, but at the same time a profound fear of not being up to par. It is a difficulty sharing my immense joy knowing that unfortunately not all those who want it can try it.”
Words that show empathy and awareness, even towards those who, by choice of life, face a path different from their own.
“I live happiness for each small overnight obstacle, for each goal achieved, and also anxiety. I welcome tears, those of joy and those of restlessness, because they help me to know the person I am becoming.”
In the end, Alessandra It touches a very delicate theme: that of the social image of the “perfect mother”. And it does so with great strength and vulnerability.
“In the meantime, I try to keep the sentences away, the model of the super mother, always perfect and infallible, which only serves to make us feel inadequate. That model does not exist. There is instead the woman I am, the woman I am becoming, the mother I will be, with all my virtues and all my defects.”
On these last words, Alessandra Amoroso was moved. A sincere emotion, which hit the public in the studio and from home, confirming the depth with which she wanted to tell her in this delicate and powerful phase of her life.
