Maybe she wasn’t only tired from doing too much

 Maybe she wasn’t only tired from doing too much.

Maybe she was also tired from feeling too deeply.

From carrying everyone’s emotions.
From worrying about every little detail.
From constantly giving her all without ever asking for anything back.

I get it now.
Motherhood isn’t just about keeping the house running or the kids fed.
It’s about holding it all together even when you’re falling apart.
It’s about feeling everything ten times harder because your heart is walking around outside your body.

No wonder she was tired.
No wonder I feel the same.
