Maybe the clingiest babies really do end up with the moms who never felt like anyone’s first choice.
The moms who grew up feeling like the backup plan.
The second pick.
The “call her if no one else answers.”

And then motherhood happens…
and suddenly there’s this tiny human who reaches for you first.
Who cries for you.
Who melts the second your arms wrap around them.

It hits different when you’ve never been chosen like that before.
When you’ve never been the safe place, the favorite person,
the one someone literally can’t fall asleep without.

But now you are.
Every single day.

And maybe that’s the healing part
finally learning what it feels like to be loved first by someone who doesn’t even know how to love you any other way. 💛

They don’t warn you about the first baby.
How the moment you hold them,
a whole new version of you is born too.

No one hands you a manual.
No one tells you which cries mean what.
You just learn as you go
with shaky hands, heavy eyes,
and a heart that suddenly beats outside your body.

They don’t warn you how raw it feels,
to love so fiercely while questioning if you’re enough.
How you’ll cry in the shower,
then wipe your tears and rock them back to sleep
as if you weren’t breaking inside.

They don’t warn you that motherhood
isn’t just about raising a child
it’s about re raising yourself.
Learning patience you never had.
Finding strength you didn’t know existed.
Discovering a love that remakes you
over and over again.

The first baby doesn’t just change your life.
They change you.
Forever.

“One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgmental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.”

You must understand that sometimes there are days that you're not in the mood to talk to anyone even if it's your relatives and your closest friends. You will ignore talking to a certain someone in person, on phone calls, on chat conversations, even on social media. Not because you don't care and not because you're in a bad mood either but because sometimes your mind and body craves silence and inner peace.
Sometimes, there are days that your soul needs silence and solitude for you to figure things out.
I want you to know that if you find yourself spacing out and distancing yourself from other people it doesn't mean that you're a bad and mean person.
You're a human and it's okay to have a meltdown and you don't owe anyone explanations for prioritizing what your soul deserves.

Whenever I visit hospitals, especially public ones, I am deeply humbled by the realities of life. I am reminded that life is not easy for everyone and that our time on this earth is fleeting, like a ticking time bomb. It also becomes more clear that good health is far more valuable than material wealth.

Indeed, health is the greatest form of wealth. 🤍
