MA. Life doesn't come with manual-it comes with a mother!!
To all the unselfish moms who traded sleep for dark circles, late nights for early mornings, and long baths for quick showers. Even when she was tired, even when she was stressed. I hope they will know that I did it all for them. I know it's hard Ma, I know it can be hard to get up every day and have these little people rely on you. I know it's hard to feel like your world is so small sometimes. I want to remind you, that you are the world. I hope even on your hard days you know how special you are. Like most other creatives, I struggle with Self-Sabotage, Self-doubt,and feeling like an imposter more often than not. You are a life-changer, every single day.Wonderful even in the chaos. I won't take a minute not to ask for anything from you, but simply to say thank you to my mom. She taught me that fear is not an option. Ain't no hood like motherhood. A messy bun is the crown of a mom. Something is empowering about going, hell I can do this! I can do this all! That's the wonderful thing about mothers, you can because you must. Take a shower, and wash off the day. Drink a glass of water.
Make the room darkly down and close your eyes.
Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine.
My mom once said to me, I can tell you over and over to leave the situation, but you won't until you are ready. One day you will wake up and realize that this isn't what you want to feel anymore and you'll be done I think it's important that everyone hears this.
Ma, I will be your biggest fan. I will be your confidant.
A mom's hug lasts long after she lets go. She's more than a super Hero. Striving for perfection, In an imperfect world. A mother's love is endless.
