every single day you have intention to be better and do better, and finish your day barely making it to the end, fearing that you’re coming up short.
You set the alarm to wake up a little earlier, to do something that will benefit you; however, when the alarm sounds, you snooze, only waking up just in time to get yourself and your little ones ready for their day.
You know you want to be more present and this time is so precious and you won’t get it back yet you’re overthinking and you suddenly realize you weren’t paying attention.
You want to set an example and for your children to be proud of you, yet in your mind you bully yourself with all of the countless ways that you’re failing.
Your body and mind are both tired from caring for others and putting their needs before your own, yet you still find a way to put their needs before yours.
You want to be that maternal mother whom you read about in fairy tales; however, you also want to be that goddess who is desired and that businesswoman who is a force to be reckoned with.
You compare yourself daily with your friends and the Instagram posts that show people winning at life. You cannot imagine what that feels like because, every day, you feel you barely made it through.
You give more than you take, and you never expect anything in return, yet you live for those moments when you see your child smile or that remind you how much love they have for you.
You live for those pockets of moments where suddenly all time stands still when your babies express real joy on their faces.
Mamma, I want you to know that you are an unsung hero. Maybe others don’t see all that you do, including you, but the universe sees it.
Take all the guilt and shame that you feel as a lover/wife/mother/sister/friend/colleague and bag them up and throw them out of your body. They serve no purpose. You have only ever done what you could do with the tools and information that you've had at the time.
Stop scrolling and to stop all of the comparisons. They’re not you. They haven’t walked your path, and if they did, maybe they wouldn’t have handled it all as effortlessly as you have.
I admire you and applaud you. Keep Going !
