The last year with being a mother for the second time has taught me so much. I knew it would be so hard as well as yes rewarding and beautiful. But its taught me to protect myself, my mental well being, my family and my time. Taught me to not spend my time trying to please everyone and to focus on what is important during this crazy journey of motherhood. Taught me to take ownership of this journey because it is mine. This is my life, my family and my mind.
Words cannot describe how incredibly thankful I am for the support I have with my partner, friends and family constantly checking in. I honestly could not be going through this without you all. Sometimes I feel like that Mary J Blige song and I'm just on repeat saying "I'm fine fine fine fine oooo!" 😂 When I'm really not but you know who you are that have checked in and given me the bravery to say I'm not fine and I need help. And more importantly these people have listened and not questioned anything that I ask of them. So thank you for the meals, hugs, baby cuddles, giggles, cleaning, organising, washing and the listening.
So to everyone out there on this day. Its okay to say no you are not okay and people please just listen to what you can help with. I know now what it truly means to help someone, to be of service and to show kindness.
