i suppose i should begin by explaining why this blog exists in the first place.
i am a new mom.
i have been thrust into a world where everything is new at every turn and journaling (when i manage to find time) is no longer enough. i have become so overwhelmed with this role that i wonder how every new mom doesn't see a therapist just to have someone to spill all their thoughts onto. oh that's right...there's no time! As much as I hope this will be an avenue for me to untangle the chaos in my brain, my goal for this blog is to hopefully help other new moms navigate their way through first-time motherhood as well. real motherhood. not the romanticized version of motherhood.
so that's what i'm doing here.
"motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. nothing else will ever make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite so hard as helping a person develop his own individuality, especially while you struggle to keep your own."
