Journaling:
Thirteen years ago, everything revolved around our family of five, with three teenagers growing up. My days were filled with worrying, planning, driving, waiting, and constantly moving on. I was always switched on. I didn’t know the word self-care back then; I pushed my own boundaries and needs aside because the family came first.
Sometimes that came at my own expense. I see that now, but with understanding for the phase I was in and the choices I made at the time. I did what was necessary, and what I was able to do.
Now there is space to look differently. To see where I myself have been in all those years. Self-care is no longer a luxury or an afterthought, but a condition for not losing myself again.
And when I see my three sons finding their way, grounded and independent, I know why I did it and that it was good.
