Reflect

It's been a bit over a month since I started writing my blog. I have grown so much from just writing about these things. Being able to put thoughts into words and reading them back to myself has helped me to look at certain situations and feelings with a bit of perspective.

Besides, it feels really good to get it out of my system. It's not really venting but releasing some things that have been underlying and that I've not taken time out to reflect on. It's so easy getting wrapped up in being a mum and put myself aside. Sometimes it's easier and other times it's just the natural mother mode kicking in. So I try to remember to at least once a day do something I really want to do. Even if it is to write a post, read a chapter etc.

I've been a bit kinder to myself lately, not beating myself up too much when I've not been a perfect mum, wife, sister, daughter, friend or person. I am tired of pretending to be happy if I'm not or pretending that everything is under control when in fact I could really use a hand. I have finally accepted that I will never be able to do everything right or even to the best of my ability. I can just do the best at that point in time under the circumstances that I've been presented with.

I am just me and that should be enough!

PS. Thanks to everyone who's reading, it means a lot. I hope someone can take something away from my posts and maybe feel abit less alone.
