Motherhood rewires you
Motherhood rewires you in ways you never expect.
My body goes into full fight or flight because my kids are just laughing. Playing. Existing loudly.It is the same exact reaction as if I was being chased down by a wild animal. Heart racing, shoulders tense, brain screaming.
And yet all they are doing is being kids. Happy, carefree, messy kids.
No one prepares you for how overstimulating that can feel. For how hard it is to breathe through the chaos and remind yourself this is not danger this is joy.
Sometimes motherhood feels like trying to calm your nervous system while your heart is living outside your body.
