I’m not going to destroy my own mental health
I’m not going to destroy my own mental health just so I can be the picture-perfect parent
Because perfect doesn’t exist anywayI refuse to pour from an empty cup until there’s nothing left of me
I refuse to keep pushing through exhaustion and overwhelm just to keep up appearances
I love my kids more than anything
But I love them enough to show them that taking care of yourself matters too
That saying “I need a minute” is healthy
That stepping back to breathe doesn’t mean I’m failing them
Because I’d rather be a present, whole, flawed mom
Than a burned out shell who gave up every part of herself to prove she was good enough
