Half a year and slightly more has passed since the world I knew disappeared in a poof of love and exhaustion.
I have never:
* been so tired
* smiled so wide and easily
* doubted myself more (I didn’t know that was possible!)
* felt so connected and yet disconnected
* loved my husband so much
* laughed so hard
I’ve been trying to figure out my new place and self. There seem to be only ashes to rise from and I will someday when the conditions are just so. I look forward to seeing my more brilliant self emerge on this side of motherhood.
Wherever you are, I hope you’re enjoying your most brilliant self already whatever you may have come from. If not, we can encourage each other along the way. We’ve got all the time we need.
