"I found myself looking in the mirror every day at a person I barely recognized. How was it possible to feel so happy with our sweet little baby girl and, at the same time, absolutely crippled by anxiety, mourning a part of me that was somehow lost? Was this what it was really supposed to be like? Was it just me? How did I get here and who the hell is driving this vehicle?!"
WHEWWWWWW! I am still very much in this season, desperately searching for myself under layers of new roles wrapped in a totally new life. But as you said, life really is too short! And taking the time for ourselves isn't a luxury - it's a necessity! Emily, this is a BEAUTIFUL post and reminder to DO THE THING! I can't wait to read more of your writing and come along on this journey!
Joie - I cannot tell you how much your words mean to me. For so long, I was hesitant to put these words out there. As you very well know, motherhood is equal parts beautiful and flat out draining. It is imperative to always take time to do something for Y-O-U. In a world where we need to be so many things for everyone else, we must always remember to first show up for ourselves.
Thank you for following along and I cannot wait to share more soon. <3
