Every single day I am pushed to (always nearly, sometimes past) my breaking point. They tell you it’s hard and it doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. Everything you want and everything you need (even eating, or having to pee) is put on hold for someone else. There are (many) days I want to tap out. Take a brake. Go for a walk. But you can’t. There is your job. So you learn to stop. And you learn to breathe. And you learn to slow down and see what they are seeing. And suddenly you realize that youre the best, and the calmest version of yourself that you’ve ever known. And that every minute of lost sleep is worth it. Every butt wipe that isn’t your own, every unknown substance on your shirt, every night stayed in, every minute of “work” or emails you failed to complete, every thigh-high pile of laundry, every feeling of alienation, every google search or phone call or guessing what you should do and guessing you’d done it wrong... it’s all so worth it. All I can do is try to give them just a piece of what they’ve given me. All I can do is love them, unconditionally. I think that’s enough. I hope that’s enough.".

Perfect Duluth Day is now on Instagram
Hello! My name is Kahla Statema, and if you can’t pronounce my name, it’s Kayla Stat-uh-mah. I’m the new intern at Perfect Duluth Day and also the face behind the PDD Instagram.
I am a journalism major with a minor in photography at UMD, and what some would call a “fourth-year sophomore.” I’ve always been a writer and used mediums such as poems and short stories to express myself when I was a kid. I enjoy writing stories on just about anything, but my number one dream is to become a freelance travel writer. If you would like to take a look at my personal work, check out my online portfolio.
Follow PDD on Instagram at @perfectduluthday and get ready for a great summer in Duluth!
