As a mom, I've come to realize that motherhood is not just about changing diapers and feeding tiny humans. It's about embracing the chaos, the mess, and the constant exhaustion. But what's often left unsaid is the emotional toll it takes on us. The sleepless nights, the endless worrying, and the crippling self-doubt.
I've seen so many moms around me struggling to keep up with the demands of parenting, all while trying to maintain a sense of identity and sanity. It's like we're expected to be superheroes, juggling multiple roles without breaking a sweat.
As moms, we're often expected to put on a brave face and pretend that everything is okay. But let's be real – it's not okay. The pressure to be perfect, the fear of being judged, and the constant need for validation can be overwhelming.
I've seen so many moms hiding behind masks, pretending to have it all together when in reality they're struggling to keep their heads above water. It's time we start talking about our true feelings and emotions – not just the curated highlight reels.
