Still in the spirit of Malea's birthday, here's some reflections.
A year ago I stepped into a whole new world when I became a mum —a world not enough books & online classes could ever prepped me for.
Over the year I've struggled through a series of baby blues I barely talked about. There were times I felt like I couldn't do it & wanted to give up. There were days I snapped & lost my cool, days I would complained feeling tired and desperately wanted to be alone, days I felt like I'm not enough and I beat myself up over small things, days I wondered why I have to give so much up of myself for someone else. I hated myself for having all these feelings because I love my kid so much but they were there, they still are sometimes.
So I want to look back & celebrate that I made it through. Not only Malea that is growing, I am too 🌼
