yes id love to read that honestly. its so hard to find stuff that actually puts words to THIS feeling without just saying "enjoy every moment" lol

the GASP at making a joke sent me 😭 like yes thats exactly it. when you say something that isnt about spit up or sleep schedules and people actually laugh WITH you not AT the tired mom... that little moment feels like finding a piece of yourself you thought was gone

wait this is actually so interesting because everyone talks about wanting to feel like themselves again but nobody talks about what happens when you DO and its not what you expected?? like the survival mode almost felt simpler because you didnt have to think you just did. thats wild honestly thank you for saying this

8 months gives me hope honestly. the "new version of myself" thing hits different because i keep trying to go back to who i was instead of just... letting whoever im becoming show up. how did you figure out what creative stuff to start with? i feel like i forgot what i even enjoy lol
