I hope this finds you somewhere in the middle of the mess

 I hope this finds you somewhere in the middle of the mess

Maybe the dishes are still in the sink
Maybe your toddler is climbing the table again
Maybe you haven’t had a moment to breathe since sunrise

But I hope it finds you resting anyway
Not just sitting for a second
Not just scrolling in the bathroom
I mean really letting go
I mean letting yourself exhale

You are not just the keeper of routines
You are not just the picker-upper of toys and emotions
You are still a woman who needs care
Who needs softness
Who needs space to just be

So if no one told you today
You’re allowed to slow down
You’re allowed to put yourself first without explaining why
You’re allowed to not have it all together

You don’t have to earn rest
You don’t have to prove how tired you are
You already do enough

Let today be the day you give some of that love back to yourself
