As women

 As women, as mothers we’re constantly told we owe the world an explanation.

Why we’re tired. Why we need a break. Why we’re setting boundaries to protect our peace.

Why our bodies look different now. Why we say no to things that drain us. Why we’re choosing to grow and change.

Why we spend our precious free moments the way we do. Why certain things still make us light up inside.

But here’s the truth:
You don’t owe anyone a damn explanation.

Not for how you mother.
Not for how you heal.
Not for how you show up in this life as a woman still learning to love herself.

It’s yours. All of it. And you get to live it unapologetically.
