Motherhood.
MOTHERHOOD is a journey filled with complex feelings and tests. It entails self-sacrifice and nurturing, yet requires a selfish approach to the constant need for replenishment of one's own resources.
We experience a deep bond with our child, often blurring boundaries between our own and the child's individuality and feeling mother’s guilt. We embody unconditional love, yet conditions can creep in when we yearn a recognition for our efforts or lose temper due to exhaustion or frustration.
We may suppress or overly express emotions, neglecting ourselves while wrapping our child in cotton and sprinkling all glitter. Motherhood is like a rose, beautiful yet with thorns. It's akin to creating a lifelong, ever-changing art piece of relationships with oneself and one's child. It's important to remember that the art lies in relationships and feelings we experience with ourselves, our children, and our family, not solely in achievements or how others will perceive our creation and story.
TO ALL MOTHERS 🌹❤️
