Is this the beginning of something good? I'm thinking about committing to documenting my life consistently for a year.
The house is quiet. My husband left early for work, and I just dropped Teddy off at daycare. I’m sitting in front of my monitors and
it feels surreal—after all this time, I finally have a little space to live for me again. Just a little. Compared to two years ago, it’s a big shift.
Back then, as a new mum, Teddy took 100% of my mental and physical energy.
Now, having a bit of time for myself feels strange. I don’t know how to explain it, but if you're a first-time parent, you probably understand. You don’t really get it until you’ve lived it.
Of course, Teddy is still very much my focus—he’s only two, and I have a long road ahead, probably 16+ years of parenting challenges. But something has shifted. I feel like I can navigate it better now.
The overwhelming phase has subsided—maybe. Or maybe I’ve just become more patient, more accepting of the truth: this too shall pass.
