This is so so true. Especially as a mama of a toddler. I have to intentionally prioritize self care so I can get some space. Today it looks like taking a nap and watching a short comedy show while my husband and son play. We spent the morning at the zoo and I am spent! I need some quiet rest/alone time to recharge.

It’s taken me a long time to be okay with asking for what I need when I need it. I’m so thankful for my husband and his willingness to give me space and to ask for what he needs as well.

I ain’t no digital thug

But on the real

Some of ya need some digital hugs

I resonate with you truly I do

I just wish you knew how to resonate too.

We don’t have to agree

We don’t have to think the same

It’s doesn’t mean I hate

It doesn’t mean I’m lame

I just wish for things that are higher then this drama

Higher then the pain

The lives lost

Deteriorating mind frames

All at what cost?

Wake up

Return from the slumber

Stop sitting around

“I wonder, I wonder”

Can life truly be this hard?

It’s so simple

To me honestly

God said love others

Let’s start there

We’ll see

Let’s be fair

Put yourselves in someone else’s shoes

Quit playing victim

And live the life God dealt you

Live it to the fullest

Live it like a full house

Live it like an ace of spades

Stop playing fearful meek mouse

Fight for what’s right

And hop off the band wagons

Jesus coming soon ya better quit laggin.

I say this with so much love

Not because I’m perfect

Not because I judge

I just want you to make it home

So we can party up above.

That feeling you get when you’re an HSP, you’re overstimulated and even the sweetest sound of your husband kissing your neck sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

Creating space for healthy lunches has been one of the best ways to make working Saturdays sustainable. Our family has had to make a lot of changes due to COVID and I’m so thankful my husband and I work at home. Balancing our schedules with our toddler has taken some planning, flexibility and adjustment.

Along the way it’s been important not to sacrifice food, sleep and quality family time as we navigate this endeavor of two working parents with a toddler and no childcare. That’s meant figuring out what really matters. And sacrificing some things that weren’t serving us well - like getting lost on social media and Netflix.

This little guy made me a mama! ❤️

Some days are hard. Some days I need a break. Today was one of those days. Nap time was restful for us both and we spent the morning outside. It helped me recharge some for this afternoon.

I’ve never seen a picture that describes me so well 😂😂

[highlysensitiveintrovert]

Ah yes the basis of every introvert. The quiet ones. The listening soul. The Highly Sensitive Person and the empathic heart. 🖤

Here comes the days of hell...

(aka the peak of my PMDD)

Feelings include:

And the result is:

Conflict and tears. Me arguing with my family and me crying a lot.

I really f*cking hate this crap.

[illustratum-paradoxon]

Same. 😔

This past week struggling with PMDD.

[highlysensitivemama]

I found out about a year ago that I’m a highly sensitive person.

It’s been such a crazy journey learning this about myself while also adjusting to the first years of motherhood.

I find myself going back and forth between wanting to be with my child and my family and wanting to be alone. I’m on a journey to find a balance between alone time, creativity and minimal stimulation and the contrast of family time, a super hyper toddler and fulfilling relationships.

I thought I’d start this tumblr to document my journey, express my creativity through art and poetry and hopefully connect with some other HSPs along the way.
