To the moms

 To the moms who love their babies more than anything, but also whisper to themselves how hard it all is, I see you. You are my people.

The ones who show up every day with tired eyes and messy hearts.
Who can hold joy and exhaustion in the same breath. Who adore their kids so deeply it almost hurts, but still ache for a break.
It doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It doesn't mean you love them any less. It means you're human. A mom who gives her whole heart, even when it's heavy.
I hope you know it's okay to say it's hard. I hope you keep saying it out loud so the rest of us don't feel so alone.
You're doing such a beautiful job, even on the days that feel anything but beautiful.
